![]() ![]() Our previous experience with Netgear and TP-LINK have found products that literally anyone could install and use. We continue to be impressed by all the Powerline adaptors we have reviewed to date. The playback started immediately with no freezing for additional buffering or any other issues suffered. For streaming from a service such as Netflix in HD, again we had no problems and as you can see from the DUMeter software screenshot below we saw speeds peak over 34Mbps and then decrease to 3-4Mbps during playback. At the very least to properly explain their speed claims.įirstly with the testing on the wired connection the full speed of our internet connection was achieved without any issues or interruptions. These were 'up to' speeds and in reality would very likely be significantly less and we feel that perhaps with the increase in popularity and availability of these powerline adaptors it is getting to the point where the powerline adaptor manufacturers need to be brought to task as well. A few years ago the Internet Service Providers were brought to task over their speed claims which weren't explained properly to consumers. The devices themselves may well be capable of 500Mbps in theory, although this includes both the uplink and downlink speed anyway so immediately halve that to 250Mbps, but due to the limitations of the Fast Ethernet ports the maximum you will ever see is 100Mbps. Due to the use of only Fast Ethernet ports (max of 100Mbps), you won't ever get 500Mbps. Unfortunately, with the Devolo, we have come up against the same troubling 500Mbps claims that we have with every other 500Mbps Powerline adaptor we have reviewed to date. We have yet to review a Devolo product but have heard great things about them, so let's see if they deserve their reputation. This is a triple adaptor set offering three 'up to' 500Mbps adaptors, one wired and two also offering WiFi access points. Many manufacturers have now joined the game such as Netgear, TP-LINK, Zyxel, D-Link and now Devolo, the manufacturer of the dLAN 500 WiFi Network Kit. Nowadays, as long as the room that needs a network access has an electrical outlet, then by simply plugging a powerline adaptor into a socket near your router and then one in the relevant room, your problems are solved.ĭue to the increase in popularity of these wonderful devices there are now multiple options available from basic wired adaptors, to sets that offer wireless access points, ones with AC passthrough and even ones built into wall outlets. No longer do you have to resort to cables everywhere, drilling holes in walls or having to use multiple routers as wireless access points. The dLAN® 500 WiFi from devolo brings the future to your home.Powerline Adaptors have certainly put an end to the dark days of home networking where you really struggled to get a network connection or wireless access to all areas of the house. ![]() Intelligent WiFi Move Technology provides even more freedom: Now, smartphones, tablets and laptops are automatically connected to the Internet – the best Wi-Fi reception in any room or floor automatically!
