Still, it connected a previously offline garage with 36.3Mbps, making it the long-distance winner. It allowed me to watch videos, nose around the Web and play games. In addition to Quality of Service software that allows for prioritizing Web surfing, gaming, video or Voice over IP (VOIP) selections, the TL-PA9020P comes with a useful utility. It not only shows the current connections with an optimistic appraisal of the throughput but you can remotely set up its encryption, rename each device and even turn off its LED lights. Powerline Adapters are open to huge variances in performance due to many factors such as your house wiring, other equipment plugged in (Microwaves seem to be a particular offender) and distances between adapters. Our testing process has been designed to create repeatable real world tests in the same location to compare different adapters against each other. Compatible with all HomePlug AV and AV2 Standard Powerline adapters. This product may not be compatible with routers or gateways with firmware that has been altered, is based on open source programs, or are non-standard or outdated. from the main adapter in the garage, not the same ring main, a single spur from the main consumer unit.
The PA9020P pair of adapters use the same overall design that we have seen in their latest crop of adapters such as the PA8030P. They use a nice round-edged white hard plastic shell, fairly modern in design and one that would sit unobtrusively wherever you wish to place it. Only two Gigabit Ethernet ports per adapter here, which is a bit of shame given the 8030P kit had three per adapter. For a brief moment prior to receiving these we had been informed that, finally, the Ethernet ports were coming out of the bottom, alas this was not that case as it was the US version that has this. The UK version still has the top mounted ports which doesn’t look great with cables poking out. So close, but yet so far.

Like the Netgear PLP2000, the TL-PA9020P uses Broadcom’s BCM60500 chipset. It had excellent range, with the ability to remain connected with 1,075 feet of cable between the sender and receiver. That nearly doubles the 575-feet range of the D-Link DHP-601AV. In other words, it’s ideal for big homes.As a general rule of thumb we have found 200Mbps adapters to achieve around 50Mbps, 500-600Mbps adapters to reach around 150-200Mbps (providing they have Gigabit Ethernet ports of course) and then the latest 1000-1200Mbps adapters to reach speeds above 400Mbps. We aren’t quite sure what has gone wrong with these 2000Mbps adapters to give such a poor result, but at a guess we would have expected 600Mbps based on testing history of the other adapters. Wired Range: After measuring throughput, we added a series of 100-foot grounded extension cords and measured the available bandwidth. With the system disconnected, we removed the last cord and added 50-, 25-, 12- and up to two 6-foot cords. The range is the total length of the extension cords that delivered the lowest throughput without disconnecting. Powerline adapters may cause intermittent connection of DSL modem router in a few rare cases 03-24-2022 70751 There is a point when numbers become meaningless. ‘Up to’ 50 Mbps broadband for example when you only get 10. 1200Mbps powerline adaptors when at best you might get 400Mbps. The Powerline Adapter world has long been plagued with a system of rating the link rate with a number that may mean something in the lab but to a user it is completely meaningless. Right from the early days of the 200Mbps adapters where you only got 50Mbps, then moving on to 500Mbps which could give you 150Mbps and then the latest 1200Mbps which gave us over 430Mbps in our tests. As you can see the best speeds you will get are often a third, at best, of that big shiny number on the box.

Behind the scenes, we used a Linksys WRT32X router, a 200Mbps Internet connection, a Lenovo ThinkPad T470 notebook and the Speedtest app to measure throughput. For all testing, five data points were averaged. Powerline extenders offer a discreet way to replace long lines of Ethernet cable with the electric wiring that’s already in your walls. This makes them a great option for anyone that wants to stretch their network connectivity to new rooms and rid their home of Wi-Fi dead spots. But is a powerline extender right for you?

Do NOT turn off the power during the upgrade process, as it may cause permanent damage to the product.
