Question 1

If you plug into this and compare it to wifi is it faster ?  Basically wondering if I can plug a laptop into it and get better performance and faster ping for online gaming

Accepted Answer

Its more consistent than wifi. Ive had wifi problems where i live since i rent a room in a 2 floor house. I havent gotten any internet drop, given that comcast holds up on their end. League ping is solid 50ms around my area versus fluctuating ping under wifi. Mind you that i have the asus ac 68 wireless adapter.. But due to the constraint at the new place i love in, the powerline is delivering a much better result than wifi.

Question 2

I have the PLE500 and would like to add another laptop and TV to the network. Can I use the PLEK500? And, how many adapters can you have together.

Accepted Answer

You can have multiple units connected. To save money you can connect them to a switch and connect the new devices to it. For example, I have a unit connected to a switch and I have 6 devices connected to the switch. A low budget switch will cost you around $20 instead of buying a unit for each device unless your devices are not close to each other, you can utilize wireless or buy multiple units.
