How slow is your Powerline networking set-up?
>>54790526
Shit nigga, I get 3 times those speeds with wifi n, never mind ac.
>>54790526
Shit nigger, I get at least 20x that speed with slim ethernet cables, and it is probably the HDD bottlenecking it.
>>54790526
Ethernet over power line is total fail.
It's time to move to power over ethernet. Using the ethernet port instead allows for far greater bandwidth.
>>54790526
I use a powerline adapter in my current apartment out of necessity, and it's much better than wifi. Not as good as a direct ethernet connection, though.
>>54791253
How much did in-wall Ethernet wiring cost you?
>>54791677
Very little. DIY ain't that hard. Or get the little conduits or cable holders you can stick along a baseboard.
Mine is rated at 1.2 Gbps but my router is just 1 Gbit
Only one rig is on the powerline and the rest are wireless so I don't really have a great way to text actual throughput
300Mbps.
>>54791900
This is actual throughput by the way, it's rated at 1200Mbps. Throughput honestly isn't the problem for me, it's the latency that's worse than wireless.

romania?
>>54790526
it isn't because I actually ran Cat6 throughout my house.
I get about 500mbits over my AC wifi
>>54792047
>2010+6
>he didn't install fiber
>>54792040
America lol
Why the fuck would a Romanian be on an American site?
>>54792047
Me too, it's the best thing ever.
Never going to regret having 1Gbit lan for my server.
>>54792086
Good luck finding a switch for that shit.
>>54792191
You obviously don't visit /pol/ sir
>>54790526
u just reminded me i have a set of that shit somewhere in the attic that i never even used
thx, im gonna see if i can pair it up just for shits and giggles
>>54792559

Here you go.

romanians pay 10€/month($9) for 1Gbps bandwidth, with IPv6 and dynamic DNS
how much do you pay for 1.2Gbps?
>>54792652
$11 that is
>>54790526
Mines is lame, it only pulls 76Mb, but the Pi would max out at 100Mb/s anyway
Rasplex + big SD for caching means it isn't too much of a problem, still annoying when everything else is gigabit cabled
oh and i can see my neighbours network if i turn encryption off
Running ethernet cable along the outside of a house.
Is it ghetto /g/?
>>54792678
>>54792652
Only a small percentage of Romanians have access to that internet.
>>54792652
Dude I don't have that fast of an Internet connection, never claimed otherwise
>>54792738
Home Owners Association will go after you for that shit if you live in a posh neighborhood.
>>54792738
Just get your Mexican electrician uncle to drop them in the walls for you. That's what I do. And he works for beer.
>>54790526
Mine was faster than that when I used it, but it was still slower. Transferring one large contiguous file from my NAS to my desktop (all CAT5e cabling) got me about 60MB/s. That was slow enough for me to just run all CAT5e cabling and now I get about ~100MB/s.
>>54792738
>what is rust
>inb4 the speed go to shit
>>54792821
That's why you use slim or flat ethernet cables.
>>54790526
Powerline is plenty fast enough for me, definitely more reliable than using wifi all the way across the house. The main bottleneck is my Internet connection anyway.
>>54792964
You don't have a file server?
>>54792738
Ghetto as fuck. Not just the ethernet cable, which fits in perfectly. The whole fucking mess of cables tacked to the side of the house and then painted over is beyond ghetto.
Powerline adapters effectivenes can vary a lot from house to house, I've had it work fantastic in some buildings and horrible in others. If you already have a set of adapters there's no harm in trying it but if you're debating buying a set, it's basically a gamble. Buy them at a local store so you can return them easily.
>>54792904
>what is rust
Unlikely to happen, who has tin cables anyway?
Copper doesn't rust.
Also, provided OP taped them over good or put foil around them, they're gonna be fine.
PVC jackets are watertight anyany, UV is your biggest enemy as that shit will eat the plastics (as most definitely the PVC isn't UV rated as you didn't buy outdoor/waterproof cabling)
Just make sure it's taped over so the UV can't get it, it doesn't have to be watertight - just sunglighttight
>>54790526
I get about 10mbps with powerline and i have to put up with about 0.5% packet loss. So I use it for the guest network only.
I use MOCA (coax) adapters for the real network and it flies and is rock solid. Highly recommend actiontec coax adapters assuming you have cable TV wiring. Fuck powerline.
>>54790526
I still get aroung 50Mbps up and down on mine.
I'm using some cheap tp-link adapters and getting much faster connectivity than over Wifi. Occasionally the connection will drop, but nowhere near as often as it did when I was connected via Wifi.

slow af
>>54790526
Not slow at all.
Not so much slow.
My internet is rated 80Mbps on the Ookla test and it's an Optical fiber. On wi-fi I scored 20Mbps. Also my house has two eletrical line and one adapter is on one line and the other in the other line, so...
>>54793732
I have a mail server. It's all plaintext, doesn't need to be that fast. At any rate, powerline networking is plenty fast enough for watching movies from a remote filesystem, I've done it.
>fell for the AC meme
>get 60-70mbyte/s bretty gud
>now about 15mbyte/s
I've tried fucking everything. Clean channels, different channels, set to AC only, no close obstruction.
Both are Asus, AC68U with AC68 pics adapter.

I get about 80-90 Mb/s pretty easily with my chink tier azurewave notebook wifi card and Netgear R7000 router, here is my last test result: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5316589539
Make sure whether the antennas at the proper orientation and try again. The 3x3 MIMO ac is pretty fast, you can able to achive about gigabit speed
Powerline is working out for me, got 3 year old TP link adapters. Ethernet from modem yields 150M and powerline 80M which is so much better than wifi. It is vodoo, though:
>every other day I have to swap my room adapter to another power socket, if I don't the speed drops to 10M.
>If I turn a specific light on in the hall, the speed increases to 140M
>If I turn on my oven it drops to 30M
>My roommate, who also has the same plug, only gets 50M max, despite being closer on the grid to the modem plug.
Stuff of miracles.
>>54792047
I plan to have a cat 10 infrastructure soon. What are the benefits?
>>54791253
Yeah let me just connect that to my tablet somehow
I never understand why anyone would use powerlines.
Why not just drill a hole or two and put cheap cat5e cables? It will give you steady 1Gbps and will definitely be much cheaper.
Anyone cares to explain?
>>54790526
I don't have that problem I just pass cat 5e cable
>>54794725
>MOCA
This is the shit. I wired a house built in 1894 (rebuilt a century later) that had coax, no ethernet, plaster with a concrete/metal lathe that is not conducive to wifi. With MoCA I was able to put a router below the three main floors (floors do not have the concrete/metal lathe) and the basement. Ping to internet with speedtests is low, 100mbps reliable (newer adapters can do close to a gigabit).
>>54797641
I used to get 70+ through 2 walls. I really don't know what's happened. Every now and then I get pissed off with it and try all kinds of settings, or even resetting to factory and trying again.
>>54791677
nothing I use laptops, you pleb
>>54799538
>Why not just drill a hole or two
Or five or six, if you don't live in a shack.
You need good drill that will go through 15cm of brick and mortar, you also have to clean all the mess after drilling.
You have to lead the cable so it isn't visible behind all kinds of furniture, kitchen appliances like refrigerator and make sure you won't damage the cable.
You know, it's a tiny bit easier to just stick two tiny things in two of your sockets.
>>54800249
Every man has a drill. I did it in my house and I honestly don't get what's the hassle. I had to put cables down to 6 computers in 4 different rooms.
>>54790526
Fast enough to get utilize all of the 200Mbps connection that I have.
>>54800269
Your drill for woodwork isn't the best tool to drill through a brick. And proper drill head costs as much as set of powerline adapters.
>falling for the powerline network jew
Fucking hell /g/
>>54790526
I use cat6.
