Preliminary short to common function.:
The transfer rates are highly dependent on various factors, as described on several occasions. I have, despite the Fast Ethernet interface (100 Mbps) at adjacent cans in section 300 Mbps! About the cabinet and fuses away figure is still 120 Mbps in an old building. This is so neat and the many active wireless devices on the network (mobile phones, Vita, streaming devices) relief of wireless bandwidth and the corresponding device as well as a good value for streaming via dLAN; also of HD material.
Now, the essential shortcoming:
I tested four devices of PA4030er kits with three LAN ports and had to break down after repeated for TP-Link Support notice that the standby mode was not activated at the factory four adapters ..! Although it is possible that with a beta tool change, but unfortunately causes nothing. There various configurations were tested, whether without having bandaged, inactive client, only with cable or completely. The support is at a loss and little involved and recommends to contact the dealer, so returning. After all, he reacted the same Tag..naja.
Result: no standby, even after the 15 specified by the support min.
Consequence: a steady consumption of 2.3 watts (idle) and 2.6 watts (with an active port). If we add the consumption of all adapters is high, come some EUR together.
That this function can actually work, shows the PA4010P. Here, the adapter switches visually and in the power consumption by about 10 minutes in the standby with a saving of 85% (1.5 watts at idle, 1.8 watts and 0.3 watts in transfer standby). In addition, the standby mode is enabled at the factory. It is all.
The same problem also shows the PA6030er Kit, also tested with four adapters. The factory is disabled in all the standby and can not even activate until the BETA tool. Answer of the support: it is just a beta version.
Consumption of Gigabit Adapter is 2.8 watts at idle and 2.9 watts at transfer an active port.
How to apply a function and then but deactivated at the factory, is beyond me. If for at least the activation would work .. Thus the adapters are unfortunately only of interest to those who love without the standby mode.
