No problems and high wireless performance gain

I had been a pair of 200 AVsmarts in use and needed more ports in the living room as the music player were added another AppleTV and a Raspberry Pi. Also my wireless access point a floor is deeper and due to the high density wireless transmitter in the neighborhood (downtown location), I was very unhappy with strong daytime dependent 20 MBit / s.

The PowerLAN speed is around 200 Mbit / s, and I will not vote for this, because it is highly dependent on the domestic situation. For my applications, the speed ranges. But I was surprised that the 500
Flawlessly played together AV Wireless + with the existing 200 AVsmart, also in this pair I already came to 190 MBit / s. It would have been enough in my case, instead of the kit only 500 AV Wireless + to create.

The 200 AV Wireless + has no mains socket and was not an option.

As a wireless base station, I have a Fritz! Box, which can indeed 5GHz, but iPhone and Co are then left out, so I stayed in the crowded 2.4 GHz network (Draft N). With the 500 AV Wireless + could I set up a second-Fi, in the 5 GHz band. That's practically empty and I get to the 50 Mbit / s transfer rate, for laptops in the living room.

Then I made the counter-test and the speed between floors measured because I achieved only 20 Mbit / s. The positive effect is expected due to the proximity to the access point.

I have the equipment in use for a month and no problems. The commissioning was unproblematic. Etc. dropouts there was none. The velocity measurements are made with Unix tools into a system on the LAN.

A virtual half star I draw from the lack of support MacOS. Firstly, there are firmware update is currently available only for Windows. Worse is a bug in the Cockpit software that installs a daemon process that runs amok (all CPUs to 100%), if you had the Mac in standby.
