Is exactly where the used herein, network innovation that promises a supply network via LAN via the household power supply in different versions.
As a premium manufacturer of powerline adapters Devolo may confidently currently designate its systems seem mature for the most part, however, the acquisition price also represent quite a large number. When (especially price) serious alternative TP-Link now presses among other things with an AV500 system on the market and thus justifies at least a detailed practical test.
More generally, should be mentioned, the extent on the existing electricity grid, any sources of interference, existing circuits and the exact placement of the adapter (right on the flush socket or on multiple plugs) is the trouble-free operation of all these systems depend. A detailed description is included with the TP-Link AV500. The instructions are detailed, illustrated and peppered the conversation with some spelling error - met in full although its meaning and purpose.
Only three steps to success. Connect adapter to the (two) desired sockets, each power cable to the router and the receiving terminal, configure systems by Pair button and - Voila, the network stands and works!. Actually sensational and Plug & Play in perfection. Three blue LED lights convey visually the full operability. The data transfer rate seems stable and trouble-free, the exact speed is of course highly dependent on the respectively prevailing conditions.
Important: Please only place the adapter to an existing wall sockets and without an interim solution by means of multiple plugs - only the adapter can retrieve their full potential.
Under these circumstances, I have the adapter can distribute as correct any problems that a reliable, consistent and acceptable network interface has emerged. While printers and photovoltaic system are satisfied with relatively little transmission rate here, the performance is sufficient in terms of television and radio after all, from MP3 and movie streaming. This effect would, however, also with a 200Mbps system accessible, which is why I currently really recommend upgrading of existing systems within the framework of a much-needed new restoration. Securing the future would be the then probably call.
Conclusion: an excellent alternative product in direct competition with the big leader, which I almost more excited than the original. In particular, macro-size of the two mini-adapter is unmatched and the equipment at the socket thereby virtually invisible. If at all the famous hair must be sought in the soup and found, bother me the attached two bright yellow network cable and the fact that the power and the place of (precious and too rare) wall outlet is completely consumed by the adapter - were here an additionally mounted plug adapters on the powerline adapter itself desirable.
And yes - sometimes sets the final and perfect means is a little ambition and experimentation ahead, but otherwise life would be too easy.
