Hey everyone!

So, I got myself a tp-link av500 to connect a pc in my home to the internet. Now I still have one question, is it 500 megabytes or 500 megabits per second. I was just curious, it wint effect my internet speed anyways (belgian internet is pretty slow) so yeah...

Thanks in advance,

Looks like megabits, Unless you have pretty damn good internet you're not going to notice any speed drops. Go to speedtest.net and unless the speedtests are running at ~400mbit/s you wont be affected.

How did you get 200 mbps in Belgium? Telenet doesn't go higher than 150, do they? Also, I have 12 so Belgian internet isn't very fast or cheap. But it's better than it used to be.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.
