Customer Review

At the processing and installation, there is really nothing to complain about. Beautiful compact adapters that are really installed Plug and Play (literally "plug-and-it-takes").
Not even pressing the sync button is required.
The only and what so upsets me when dLan topic, the manufacturer's specifications "up to" means that it is 200 or 500 Mbps, because these values ​​can be really achieved only in the laboratory and in a way that between 2 adapters depends only one wire with 220 volts and anything else otherwise. But even then walk a few bytes for speed log, line etc. lost.

I want dLan not use in a laboratory, but have in a family home and not 2 adapters in a room, but there is WiFi, but spare me the laying of network cable through floors. That's really the goal. Now it is common so that each room has a circuit that ends in the distribution cabinet. ie, between 2 rooms almost always depends of the distribution. And here comes dLan "sweat", because there are no more laboratory operations. There are several outlets where possibly even a fridge or microwave dranhängt and all electrical appliances produce disturbances that go on the transfer speed. In my case is new, so wiring is in top condition.

In this set I get the data throughput of the living room on the ground floor to the DLS modem / router on the 1st floor of just 120 Mbps. After all, it is 50% more than in a "200 Mbps" model.
It is enough to stream music and video, depending on the bit rate. 720p goes with me everything, even 90% of 1080p video. For 3D content and some 1080p videos with a high bit rate, it is already scarce and then drop outs. What I'm saying, do not rely on the manufacturer's instructions and try it at the right location if the speed is directly sufficient. Because there are very many factors that can affect data throughput dramatically. Example: I have 4 wall outlets in series. When I first use, there are 120 Mbps. When the last (after the TV, BD players and routers), there are only half, about 60-70 Mbps.

A few words in passing:
- In my test I had on both sides, used in the routers 1Gbit port using the supplied cable
- Adapters are backwards compatible with the "200 Mbps" Standard
- Blue light diodes are slightly too bright
- Bundled software allows to adjust QoS: priority for different types of data. So you can for example miss the transmission of video priority over other data.
- The software shows the transmission rate in one direction to, the free tool from AVM contrast for receive and transmit direction (incidentally works with TP-Link adapter quite well, due to the same standards)
- Unfortunately, there is nothing in the product description of the line filter, whether it is installed in the devices. More likely not in AVM 520E is the case.
- Soon I'll still try to 520E of AVM, whether due to network filters thus achieved better results
- The product is okay, you can not expect the nearly 500 Mbps speed but
