That's too bad...first off, I ignore the 100mbps stuff...that's never
what you get...IME, anyway.
Have you tried using different wall sockets yet?
Note that I have the AV unit, 4 ports on one end and one port to connect
to your router on the other.

I'm thinking about getting one for travel too...my mom's wireless won't
reach across her house...but this might...

ok... I've performed several tests, but I don't think I'm getting the
advertised speed here... I downloaded Netgear's utility tool and it tells me
that my two XAV2001 adapters are running at 100+mbps on average the one
upstairs in the office shows up conssitently at about 110 to 120mbps while
the one downstairs fluctuates depending if the washer and dryer are
running. If the appliances are offline it reports up to 150mbps, but if
they are online it will be much lower like 80mbps.
however, a 1gb file takes about 10 min to transfer at a rate of about
2.2MB/s which is faster than what my 802.11n was transferring at which used
to peak at 1.7MB/s but consistently only put out about 1.2MB/s so I am
getting a good boost but just thought I'd see a much faster performance like
yours... a 4.7gb file took exactly 1hr to transfer no matter how many times
I repeated the test. I tried downloading to the main disk, tried to copy it
to a usb drive, the result is the same... 1hr for 4.7 which again is faster
than what I'm used to it used to take well into 2hrs (sometimes more) with
wifi 802.11n (2.4ghz).
I am happy i can get some more speed, but just soured out that I didn't get
as much as I thought I'd get.

That is really cool.. I stopped by Fry's after reading your post and can't
wait to plug these suckers in... I'll report back this afternoon with my
results on these guys...I did see that Fry's also carries the Powerline HD
which is supposed to be 200mbs also but i thought I'd stick with the AV as
that is what is currently reported as quality, consistent results.
thanks for the feedback.

I am very pleased with the current Powerline AV stuff. I can move an 11 GB
file from upstairs, at one end of a 60-ft long house, to downstairs at the
other end, in about 35 minutes. I've been testing this for days and days,
both day and night, now with the same results. So, with a dual band router,
I have some stuff at 2.4 GHz, some at 5 GHz, some wired at 1000mbps, and
then powerline at 100 mbps. I think the powerline is more consistent
through walls and distance than wireless will ever be. My house was built in
1988, too.

Well, I got my powerline stuff a day early....all of it is netgear, but
still running the linksys wrt56g at 10/100.
Getting the netgear powerline stuff going is too easy...just plug in the
PL
adapter, plug in the ethernet cable to it, and than plug in the other
piece
(I got the 4 port AV unit) into a socket someplace. So right now I have
the
laptop at the other end of the house (one level down), where the
wireless
signal barely makes it. But on the powerline system I got 100 Mbps
network
(what's reported) and I am transfering files at 45 Mbps (big files).
Of course, that same file moved over the router to my other PC moves at
92
Mbps.
So wired ethernet is definitely better than powerline, but we knew that.
I can't wait to try this on the Netgear router...it will take longer to
get
that up, so I'm doing simple tests first.

Subject: [H] Powerline adapter (rather than wireless N)
Since I have both Tivo and a Blu-ray player downstairs, I'm think that
perhaps a powerline adapter would be a better option. That way, I could
connect both devices over a powerline network rather than using a
special
adapter for Tivo and nothing for the Blu-ray. And, if I get an XBox or
something like that, I have a ready solution for networking. From some
reading, the logic goes that a wired ethernet connection is best,
followed
by a powerline connect, and then a wireless connection. Is that true?
I
live in a two story house, so one wondering if the wiring is truly
connected
between the levels.
Anyone played with one?
I guess I can be the tester...
-----------------------------------------
So I hear that Tivo now has an 802.11n wireless adapter.
I get spoiled watching HD movies from Amazon on my Tivo XL.
Having the speed of 802.11n would make the transfers faster.
But my laptops are 802.11b and g. Will they work on an 802.11n system?
Are the backward compaticable?
Would my new phone (Droid Incredible), when I get it, be able to use
802.11n on its WiFi? What about an iPad? Is everything new these days
802.11n ready?
I just read the descriptions of two different products on Amazon and
neither of them mentioned backwards compatibility. That makes me think
it's
not there.
If it is there, which router is best?
