Reliability wise, the units seem flawless, and able to cope with heavy network use. Discontinued Item. Easy to install and use, it plugs straight in to any existing wall electrical socket while having a low power consumption, it comes with 56 bit DES encryption ensuring that your network communications is free from eavesdroppers and hackers.
You will require at least two Home Plug devices to create your network. Download the Solwise Home Plug 1. Click on image to see a larger view. Stock Code. Operating : 0 o to 40 o Celsius 32 o to o Fahrenheit Non-Operating : o to 70 o Celsius o to o Fahrenheit. I have just purchased two of your 85Mbps Home Plug adapters. I ordered over the internet on Monday morning and they were at home waiting for me when I got home from work on Tuesday evening. I connected one to my router - took about a minute.
So far so good. We can see the benefits to this approach, since it can enable easier physical access than something plugged in behind or under a heavy piece of furniture. Since routers with HomePlug capability are relatively rare, most users will need a pair of adapters to integrate one device with a network. Enabling encryption is important because just like with wireless networking, information transmitted via powerline can potentially leave the confines of the home.
The signal cannot, however, travel beyond the transformer. The SMCHT-ETH uses bit DES encryption to secure its data transmissions, and each unit comes with a unique character alphabetic password found on the underside of the unit that must be entered in order to enable encryption on the unit. For example to add two new adapters C and D to an existing network with adapters A and B then proceed as follows:.
The adapter will generate a new random password which places it outside the existing logical network. Homeplug adapters can also come with built in wireless access points which allows you to easily and quickly provide Wi-Fi coverage in other locations. You should receive a DVD with your adapter containing software that you can use to mange your powerline adapters. The tpPLC. However the best feature is the network map which shows you all of the discovered adapters and the line speeds and an example is shown below.
Just like WiFi there are published speeds for each powerline standard. These speeds are theoretical maximum speeds and you will no get them in practise. In addition because all powerline adapters share the same medium mains cable the number of devices that are connected also affects the throughput speed.
If you look at my diagram taken form my network you can see that the maximum line speed is much less than the theoretical speed and that distance also plays a role. A good rule of thumb is to half the theoretical line speed so for a Mbps adapter expect around Mbps.
There is an interesting table on this forum page showing live test results for adapters under different load conditions. However generally the speed for even the low speed av adapters is much quicker than the Internet connection speeds Mbps. The line speed is the actual bit rate on the line. However because this line is shared by other devices the speed of each device throughput is less than the line speed. These are very difficult to measure as they work by transferring data between two computers at either end of the connection.
A lot of people try to measure using an Internet speed checker but that measures your overall connection speed which is limited by the slowest link in the chain which is normally the Internet connection itself. See Understanding Home Networking Speeds. When purchasing high speed adapters e.
TP link Setup Video — The procedure is used for all makes of adaptor. Hi Useful information. David From my network they seem to form a hub but it may be a coincidence. I am not ware of a connection published algorithm. If you use the utility it shows how they are connected to each other on your network.
Your email address will not be published. Skip to content Instead of running new Ethernet cables to connect your devices to your home network then why not use your existing electrical power cables? That is the idea behind Powerline or Homeplug networks. What you will Learn In this guide we will look at powerline networking using homeplug Ethernet adapters, how it works, and how you set up a home network. You will learn: How powerline networking works. How It integrates into your existing home network.
How to create a powerline network using homeplug adapters How to add and remove adapters from a network How various standards interoperate. What tools you can use. Powerline Networking Overview Powerline networking utilizes your existing mains electrical cable to connect devices together. Advantages No additional wiring required Wiring is usually hidden Can use Powerline adapter to power the device e. Common Powerline Uses They are often used: To connect devices to a home network that are out of range of the wireless router.
To connect a device to the network that requires a high speed and reliable connection e. To provide wireless range extension using a powerline Wi-Fi booster.
