Re: I hate cables

In reply to a post by zyborg47:
i wonder if a decent powerline system would be a better idea? i got some, but they are not that good, which is why I went to a Ethernet connection


In my experience powerline stuff is ok at best. It our previous house it was pretty terrible, rarely managing more than 12mb/s even with devices advertising 1000mb/s.

It was a bit better in our current house, managed to get 40mb/s between my office and the part of the house where my router was. Which was ok when my Internet connection was under 30 anyway.

But that had to change when I moved to Starlink and I ran Ethernet round the outside of the house.

Even when then powerline units weren't the most reliable. I had a series of the Devolo ones and then some TP-Link ones. Many of them only lasted 2-3 years (they can get very hot) and some of them needed a power cycle every few months as they just stopped passing traffic.

That said, I do still have two of the in place connecting a camera in a shed and those have been rock solid if slow (think they are managing 20mb/s). I'd forgotten they were still in use.

And good wifi is better than any powerline I've used. But then I am a wifi unicorn, nearest neighbour is 50 metres away and the next nearest is 90.

We have over 300mb/s anywhere in the house with three Unifi APs.

If you hang around here long enough you'll soon find that the moral high ground is a very tenuous position.

You make assumptions and that is your downfall.

I have "been around" a long long time, and all I see are the same few people that post from the bottom of the pond at every opportunity.

It doesn't occur to you that maybe Adrian/Zyborg has a "need" to have people to discuss things with?

If you don't like his posts why do you read them? He has just as much right to post here as anyone else.

[re: AndreiV] [link to this post]
 
You seem to have a lot to say for yourself today, considering you have a total of 7 posts with this username and you have just attacked 2 people today with 3 of those posts.

Call me inspector but I smell something very suspicious.
