Excellent tests and demonstration of ping for online gaming which is what I really hope this kit improves. Thanks very much for the effort you put into this video!
@@mikee2056 yes I bought the TP Link AV2000 on Amazon for like €93 and wire it straight to my Xbox and my ping went from 130 down to about 30ms. My download went from 120mbps to 250mbps. My internets max speed is gigabit and I’ve seen it go as high as 1.4gbps when I wire my Xbox straight to the router so you can see you lose a lot of your potential speed. This is irrelevant in the grand scope of things for me as it downloads games very fast, streams 4K content with ease and ping is very good for gaming online like on MW2. Def worth the money for me but the higher your initial speed the faster your extender will be. Hope this helps!
@@mr.average7893 people don't just buy this only for internet... But even if they did people like me have gigabit internet and Want to see how much of it they can use
Iperf is better to benchmark LAN speeds. Run an iperf server on a laptop connected directly to the router and another iperf adapter connected to a laptop behind the powerline adapter
I was only here for 0 ping in fortnite lmaoooo watching that fortnite ping change was so satisfying to see that it actually works and see what I was looking for hehe
really clear video, but bare in mind network peripherals and your broadband is rated for megaBITS per second. You incorrectly stated megabytes a few times in your video.
Hey man, thanks for the great video! I am wondering if you could guess what my speeds might be with a gigabit Ethernet connection. Also, do you if there is a big difference between the 2000 models and the 1000 models with my gigabit internet. Thanks!
@@mishu2105 Hey Sergio, unfortunately I haven't been able to test if it's just the wiring in my house that is bottlenecking my connection speed but either way, I still get around 100 mb up and down which is actually less than my wifi speeds lol. I still use the Ethernet adapters because they provide a MUCH stabler connection for online games and video meetings etc. Hope this helps
it works without pairing - pairing is for encryption... as long as you are the only one in the house /single family house - it should be ok without pairing
i did the same set up but my TP LInks power kit is giving me only 80mbps hardwired instead of 400mbps which i was getting from my Wifii. Does anyone know if it picks up 2.4g or 5g?
hey man, would be able to help me i fully have both of them connected and have 3 lights on both but when i boot up my pc it still says unidentified network.
My home is a 2020 home it was barely build i barely moved in 6 months ago im thinking of buying this does that mean my electric cables are good or i have to find out?
As long as you have enough IPs available in your home network, you can absolutely connect two consoles at the end of the TP link! You can connect any two devices that have inputs for Ethernet.
How will it compare with ethernet cable plugged directly in to the playstation? My ps5 is on other side if the house and i really dont want to run a cable thru the house haha. I never use wifi tho
It's a viable option but remember the more jumps it has to make through the breaker box the more degraded the signal becomes. I would recommend to try it out and you can always return it!
I don't know if you will respond, but anyone could possibly tell me. I at the moment don't have a router would i be able to do the same thing on my regular Modem or would it not work. Would like to know before buying a router.
even tho it is showing over 100mb download, websites have the download speeds capped which some ppl don't realize, so downloading from a site that is capped isn't the best example
This may be obvious, but if I connect the first point (the one that connects directly to the router) to a power splitting instead to a socket directly, it won't work at all? Or work badly?
@@treeladder5338 I wasn't talking about an extender, I was talking about a splitter (the one where you connect with a cable to a socket and get multiple sockets) While it does make sense, I visited a friend's housr the other day, and it seems that not only his adapter was connected to a power splitter, it shared the sockets with some power hungry devices and it works just fine! So I do wonder about it...
@@ethai1 absolutely no clue on that you seem to know more than I do. Do you know an answer to this? If your internet gets 14.7 mb upload and 1mb download also 18 ping via phone WiFi..... will a powerline to your pc really make a difference?
@@treeladder5338 basically im searching for a solution, soon i'll move the desktop pc to my room, which is in the floor above where the router is so im looking for the best solution... Mesh seemed like a good idea but they are expensive though...
I've got my router on my desk plugged into the PS4 with a ethernet cable. If I was to use this instead, will this increase the speeds or have I got the best solution ? I have 350mb gaming package from Virgin media but I'm not convinced the output is maxed out. By using the Power line will I get priority on the PS4 when in use?
If you're plugged in via ethernet, you're already getting the best you're going to get. Powerline networks are a solution for distance without running wires. You'll likely see a hit to performance if you use them.
Direct connection to the router will always trump all other connection methods. You'll see a downgrade in speed if you connected to PowerLine compared to direct.
Hi thanksd for the video and demo. Have you tested and tried adding the TL-WPA8630 KIT to the TL-PA9020P KIT? Just want to know if its beneficial to have both powerline and wifi extender?
At 3:53 you say the speed is over 100 Mb. That couldn't be more wrong! You see 100 Mbts which corresponds to around 12 Mb/s. That is insanely slow when the adapters promise up to 2000 Mbts.
Hey man, does this still work well? The Amazon reviews for this thing say that it disconnects frequently so I'm quite concerned for network interruptions.
Having issues connecting more than two at a time. Do you know I’d I have to sync all of them at the same time? I bought four of them but can only get one connected with the one at my gateway.
Dad's Dojo ohh ok, So I ordered it 2days ago and it came yesterday when I tried the speed test it seems like my WiFi better. I dont understand. I plug it on the wall both of them but my WiFi download is 300+ or sometimes 250+ but with the to link it’s below 240. Maybe I need to buy cat 7ethernet cable on both?
@@paradox1414 the results will vary on depending upon your electrical wiring, did you try to test it in the same room (outlets on the same circuit)? Or test it on a family/friends house?
Fun fact , it is impossible for these units to ever deliver 2Gbps even theoretically. TP-Link tells me it's just a marketing name. The ports on the ends are 1Gbps, and the unit does not work with any form of NIC bonding. Meaning one end can only have one cable plugged in to the gateway. This means that it is impossible to deliver two Gbps connections at once. This is basically just a 1Gbps Powerline setup with built in switches so you get two ports.
nice vid, how come u got 86Mbps on your laptop and 36mbps on your ps4 when using wifi. How could the laptop be having better internet connection than your ps4, how's that? i got 18mbps on my laptop and ps4 too.
I think the wires in my house might be messed up...On WIFI I'm getting 250-300mbps. Using this TPLink I'm getting between 1 and 50mbps (average about 15mbps). My house is only 15 years old. I What a bummer....Might have to return this shit.
i got powerline adapters with 1800 mpbs but whenever i play games such as fortnite and csgo the ping would still be around 40-50 but im close to the servers can you help?
Sorry to hear that! Have you tried turning off power saving mode you will need to download the tp-link application to do this. Have you tested it on the same circuit? Remember it depends on your electrical wiring and there could be some interference in between the two points.
@@chilldadreviews I did everything you said, but still no improvements. Is there any way to check if my electrical wire is causing this? I even put an cat 8 cable on both adapters, still no improvment as well
@@dio_69420 what is your download/upload speed if you connect directly to the router? I do not know of any specific way to test the electrical wiring for interference but I would try process of elimination and try testing it on different rooms or even a friend's or family member house if possible.
@@chilldadreviews when i directly connect my cat 8 ethernet cable from my router to my laptop, the download is 93.17 and upload is 11.17. With the cat 8 and powerline i get 88.37 down and 11.46 up on the same circuit. I think it could also be the router since its 12 years old and was about $50 here's the link www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F9K1102/
File download was not even close to 1Gbps, somwhere around 160Mbps...14.9MBs=119.2Mbps. You better buy some decent cat5 cable and drop it whenever you like up to 100 meters from your router. Its cheaper, faster, totally passive, brings real 1Gbps.
Yeah unfortunately its hit or miss and truly is dependent on your house wiring plus how many circuits it has to jump through. I was renting my previous home and running cables it not an option for some people so this might be another option.
Why did you decide to test this using your internet connection which is only 300/300? This product is rated 2000mpbs, far greater than 300. Better to test this between two computers rather than on a network where you know the speed is capped at 300.
That comment makes no sense lol. You never get full speed on wifi, so if he hit 300 with the adapter, it's working. Also, his home only has 300...where else would he test it?
@@JackmoveJohnny901 who says it has to be tested on Wi-Fi? Who says it has to be tested using home internet? Sure, that’s probably the cheapest and most common way to test it but it tells us nothing about its capability. This is like testing a car going from one stop light to the next. Common, yes, but absolutely worthless.
@@JackmoveJohnny901 also one the main reasons to use this product is to bypass Wi-Fi so not sure why you think the Wi-Fi cap matters (which nowadays is higher than 300/300, remember megabits not megabytes). In the video, he is using this product to avoid using Wi-Fi. This is like someone testing a car instead of walking, and I point out the car is not faster, and then someone like you says walking speed is capped anyway. Duh driving is supposed to avoid walking. Just like this product is supposed to avoid Wi-Fi.
@@suninlaw well the whole point of the adapter is for someone who can't go wired easily, so they'll probably still be wireless, but a wired test would be helpful in addition
@@JackmoveJohnny901 I would say the more prevalent alternative to wired is wireless. WiFi is easier and cheaper to implement than this. This adapter is for people who need to overcome some of the limitations of WiFi (or wired), so comparing it to WiFi limitations is just dumb. Like I said, if I drive a car to overcome the limitations of walking, and criticize the car for being as slow as walking, it's silly to talk about how walking is has a cap on speed. Yeah, duh, that's why I'm driving. To not walk. This adapter in many cases is desirable because it's supposed to do things that WiFi can't easily do, and one of those reasons is that it can be faster than WiFi. It makes no sense to say that we shouldn't test this product faster than WiFi.
ah i see so you much have 0 electrical sockets in your house then... you would obviously have wiring as this needs a socket to plug into hahaha why else would you buy it .
