This review is from: TP-Link AV1200 Powerline Ethernet Adapter - Gigabit Port, Plug&Play, Power Saving(TL-PA8010 KIT)
Pros:
I set this device up with my router wired to a NAS on one side and a system on the other for almost 2 weeks now to test latency as well as speed. Configuration is a snap, I was able to get it going in under a minute just holding down the button.
It has been very stable with no disconnects. I haven’t noticed any hard latency either in response time.
I use a TriBand Beamforming AC3200 and on 5Ghz with optimal band I still only have a 2x2 NIC which gets at best range 75MBps. If I move to an area with poor connectivity I easily drop to roughly 22MBps. This device is able to pull consistently at roughly 36MBps. The reliability here is what I really liked from it. It’s not going to break the bank in throughput but with decent latency and ‘okay’ speeds it is great to add to a place with spotty WiFi.
Cons:
It’s a bit larger so it’d have been nice if they’d given a power pass through so I could use more of my outlet.
Overall Review:
Normally I get the full 1Gbps over Ethernet. The NAS can easily handle 1Gbps file transfers at full speed read/write. A copy using Robocopy gave me 34MBps upload (vs 120MBps over Ethernet) and 39MBps download from the NAS. This was an average over 20 pulls and pushes to the NAS in testing performance. This is about 25% what you’d expect from Ethernet. I don’t necessarily think this to be a con as this is more an alternative to Wireless range than Ethernet.
