SamES 1004 Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 That is not a good wifi speed. I suspect you will also see latency issues which won't help either. If you're interested, have a look at an ethernet over power module. Relatively cheap and will give you a big speed boost. I've got one of these and it's great https://www.tp-link.com/au/home-networking/powerline/tl-pa9020p-kit/
thegrunge 29 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Posted June 11, 2020 Indeed! I watch a lot for this kind of product, but ideally also with wifi. By cons it seems the 2 sockets where plug the boosters must be on the same phase in the electrical panel. I still have confirmed that.
SamES 1004 Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I liked this one has it has dual ethernet ports at each end which is handy. I use this on my 2017 Samsung TV and typically get about 300Mb speeds
SamES 1004 Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Not quite as fast, but with WiFi https://www.tp-link.com/au/home-networking/powerline/tl-wpa8630p-kit/
thegrunge 29 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Posted June 11, 2020 Did you happen to verify what I said about the sockets that must be on the same phase? For my part I also have a firestick and a Chromecast that's why I need the wifi option
SamES 1004 Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I don't think it a problem, as long as all circuits are connected before the main switch and meter. from here : https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/406/ Quote Q3.11: Can Powerline adapters work if they are separated by Circuit Breakers/ Fuse Boxes/ Fuse Boards? A: Generally speaking, PLC can be used across Circuit Breakers/ Fuse Boxes/ Fuse Boards. A few Circuit Breakers/ Fuse Boxes/ Fuse Boards have filtering effect and weaken the PLC communication. In most cases, they have little influence on the communication of PLC. So generally, PLC can be used if they are separated by Circuit Breakers/ Fuse Boxes/ Fuse Boards. And here: https://www.ht.com.au/attach/files/gbgm.pdf Quote 5. DO POWERLINE ADAPTERS WORK OVER DIFFERENT CIRCUITS IN THE HOUSE? If all circuit breakers are connected to the main switch then Powerline adapters can communicate across different circuits. If circuit breakers are isolated then the adapters will not be able to communicate across circuits.
thegrunge 29 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Posted June 11, 2020 it's more interesting, thank you very much, I'm going to look at it with more interest!

For my part I also have a firestick and a Chromecast that's why I need the wifi option I'm using these to connect my external garage to the house on different phases with no problems. I'm fairly handy and was going to switch legs but it worked fine for me. Probably depends a lot on how noisy the connects are as well but these do work on different legs (phases) of the circuit at least for some of us. I've got about 150 foot of wire between the boxes as well.
SamES 1004 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Different circuits(legs) on the same phase should be fine, it's when they are actually on different phases that it could be a problem.
