interesting as my homeplugs seem to outperform your av200's by another 10mbps

try the 4.4.05 firmware from develo website

saying that there is hardly any difference

so on homeplug 500's your getting best case scenario around 16MB/S & around 5MB's on av's

impressive enough for me to buy some 500's from solwise in not so distant future

wouldn't mind seeing the gbit homeplugs in operation also andrew

thanks for work involved btw

Which Gigabit HomePlugs?

Devolo don't make any that are faster than these. Sure you aren't confusing the gigabit ethernet sockets?

sorry its not a reply to your post, the forums don't allow posting without choosing a post to reply(as far as I can see).

after many years of slow broadband(started at 512kb several years back to max of 2.5mb currently) will be moving onto bt infinity in a couple of weeks, with the btwholesale checker saying 51mb for our line(hopeful for higher) need a suitable method of connecting the hh3(which will be downstairs as the master socket is downstairs) to the desktop pc(upstairs) as long ethernet cable is not viable(we're looking at selling the house and the ethernet cable option requiring pulling up carpets, maybe drilling holes etc so as said not a viable option).

looking at http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/devolo-dlan-200mbps-av... as I also have a ps3 in the room so the 3 ethernet ports will be useful plus can get 10% off + quidco works out at ~£80, will they give the 50/60mb or looking at under 40mb and need the 500mbps version(http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/devolo-1721dlan-500-avtriple-starter-kit-11953986-pdt.html)?

The idea is you start a new thread, so as not to confuse an existing one .

On this page, or the equivalent in any forum, there is a Post button in the heading menu.

Though you seem to have done the best thing in this case .

What are the pings like LAN to LAN on the powerline plugs you all have? It's difficult to get any latency stats from Google, I've seen 4ms and 25ms(!), being an online gamer I'm just curious.

I might be getting TP-Link TL-PA211 plugs, seems to have a lot of reviews on amazon, the other brands - not much.

2ms to a host on my LAN
Ethernet was 0ms
Wireless I think was 2ms, but had a higher spike of 133ms versus 17ms

i noticed about a 5ms increase from using wireless to homeplug
