Need help with powerline networking

Jonathan=PC
Go to solution Solved by Johannes_Lazor,

The powerline adapters is almost as good as cables, But there is one main disadvantage, They work like a switch so you wont use much of your router,
The response time is close to neglectable, It is only 1 or 3ms.

You should have the router to a 1000mbit/s(input) and you can mix and match however you want, But if you have 2x500mbit/s Or 5x200mbit/s adapters(Or some other match as long as the total bitrate doesnt exceed 1000mbit/s)(outputs) you will never see a slowdown when someone else is using another computer.

I have 1 powerline adapter 500mb/s in the room with my router so router is hooked up to the p.a (500mb/s)

 

My other powerline adapter is a 200mb/s adapter and is in my gaming room in on the second floor

 

My fathers powerline adapter is a 200mb/s adapter and is on the ground floor but 5 rooms away.

 

I am going to get 500/500 mb/s fiber

Should i buy a 1000 mb/s powerline adapter for the router and a 500 mb/s powerline adapter for my pc,

or should i only buy a 500 mb/s powerline adapter for my pc( so without the 1000 mb/s for the router)

Because the situation would be like this

 

500(router powerline adapter) ---> 500mb/s Me

500(router powerline adapter)  ---> 200mb/s (my father)

(note 500(router powerline adapter) is one adapter i haven't got 2)

 

if the situation would be like this:

1000(router powerline adapter) ---> 500mb/s Me

1000(router powerline adapter)  ---> 200mb/s (my father)

would be faster this way?

 or should i buy 2 powerline adapter and hook them both up to the router

and let one send data to me

and let one send data to my father?

--------------------------------------

Or should i go wireless?

 

Sorry if you don't understand the whole story

i am bad in explaining thinks :P

Thanks for reading

Please just use wires, they're so much better. But if you must use power line adapters, get the 1000 mb/s one at your router. That way you won't notice slowdowns as much when your father is using the other power line adapter.
