TP-Link TL-WPA4220KIT Ethernet Port maximum speed

[PC GAMER 01]

I bought this powerline kit. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LXOZ4EN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it says on the description that the powerline plug has a maximum speed of 600mbps.

When it arrived it included 2 cat 5 cables. On Amazon it says the ethernet port is only a 100mbps one but I'm not sure if that's right. If I use cat5e cables (gigabit connection) will this allow speeds of closer to 600mbps or is the port only 100mbps. Pls tell me as I want to know if I should buy some cables or not

Yup that 100mbit is right. It doesn't support gigabit.

 

Also cat 5 can normally do gigabit.

If your internet connection never gets beyond 100Mbps, the limitation at the ethernet ports shouldn’t be a problem. On the other hand, if speeds exceed this, then you’ll be limited to 100Mbps maximum. Also, communication on the LAN alone will be limited by this speed.

 

BTW, I don’t know why devices like this exist. -_-
