I think one limitation is that it supports up to 8 devices. IIRC, wireless is double that per AP. And the half-duplex signal can become a factor if you have several devices all on the network at the same time trying to load things up. For me, I don't plan on having that much of my network rely on this, and I would prefer a wired solution anyday, but this looks to be ideal for the circumstances I'm using it for now.

i am with kreij. it seems that this kind of hardware would be widespread and would put wireless out of business. :laugh: there has to be some limitation i dont know about! regardless, i am definitely getting a set!

I think part of the issue is that the technology is still relatively new to the consumer market.

And of course the big limitation is that you are still stuck with a wire, you can't just pick up your laptop and go anywhere with it.

It is limitted to 8 EOP devices. However, you can plug a switch into a EOP device and connect as many computers as you want to it. So if you have 3 devices in the same area you only need 1 EOP devices for them. Yeah, all the devices would then have to share the 200Mb/s connection, but it would still be a hell of a lot faster than a Wireless connection and more reliable too.

Agreed, and that is the same way I plan on connecting multiple devices at my home.

I love the EoP. I got a pair to use for my Direct TV Receiver and network that to my Xbox 360 and I have been in love with it ever since. I do have slower than normal speeds due to the condition of the wiring in the house. When I build my new home in 3 years, that will of course change :)

Just a little info.

My trendnet powerline supports 15 powerline adapters...

Connect one 200Mbps* Powerline AV Adapter to the Internet and then plug in up to 15 additional adapters for instant building connectivity

The new TrendNet 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter Kit, model TPL-401E2K, when it comes out will use one to transmit and up to 15* TPL-401Es to receive a networked signal

Of couse, with anything such as this... you are sharing the bandwidth, so, you know the drill.

It varies with the units and manufacturer.:)

has anyone used this technology? i am looking into buying a pair of EoP for about $100 but i would like to hear some testimonials. i have read a few around the net but would like to hear them here.

Yep..I use the D-Link DHP303's to connect my gaming PC with the router in the front room (I refuse to radiate myself with wireless microwave radiation)......

.....for everything I need it for, it works flawlessly and without a quibble. Mind u, living in the middle of the countryside (in the UK), my internet connection is not exactly 'futuristic'. 6MB Download, 350KB Upload, 35 Ping to British servers.

......neither my connection, ping, jitter changes from when I test the line on the router.

bandwidth is shared between all the devices, so the more of these you add, the slower the whole thing gets,

dont forget the half speed issues, thats 1000Mb half duplex, so 500Mb in reality.
i suppose the key to this model is that it uses gigabit ports on the devices, as opposed to 100Mb ports.

sure, its faster than all the others - but it hardly matches gigabit.

Yeah, but if you are transferring a large file in one direction, it will be pretty close to Gigabit.:toast: You are really only going to notice the difference if you are transferring files in both directions at the same time.

i thought it was the same as wifi, where it doesnt work that way. 150Mb wirelss N only gets you 75Mb transfer speeds (approx 8.5MB/s in my testing)

Usually wireless speed is halved by encryption, then sometimes halved again by interference, obstructions, etc.

With the Half Dublex of wired networking/EOP it is 1000Mb in one direction only. So to send data back and forth it has to constantly switch directions. If data is all flowing in one direction it will get close to 1000Mb, with a little slow down due to sending the small recieved/acknowledge packets back.

Wireless speeds are so slow for numerious reasons, I don't believe it is actually half duplex.

I think I saw newtekie mention this... But just want to throw this out there again. EOP do not work well (some people have zero luck) if you have AFCI breakers, which many newer house builds do.

Unlike newtekie, I have never had luck streaming my movies with 6channel audio over the 85mb kits without stuttering. However, they do work fine with the 200mb kits.

You mean GFCI? Building codes around me only say that those have to be used within so many feet of water (sinks, tubs, etc.).

Flak is speaking of GFCI breakers in the distribution panel, not outlets; and the breakers should not affect the data. They, usually, do not filter the frequencies the devices use.

I apologize to Flak.

It seems that he is referring to exactly what he said and I have learned something new. As, I did not know they were installing these in new construction in some locations.

Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter Breakers
Arc-fault circuit interrupter

And, it seems, that they monitor a certain waveform pattern that electrical arcs create... It may be possible they can interfere with powerline devices. Hmmmm, more investigation is called for.

As, this tester showed there is a loss of speed and connectivity, this was a test done in August of 2009, between a NetGear unit and Belkin - with and without AFCI.

these sound like fire hazards messing with electrical work and stuff but im probably wrong just doesn't sound safe. but it is cool

No more so, than... the power bricks or PSU you plug in the wall.

update: when they work they are very fast. however i notice that the terminal will lose a signal and i have to unplug it and plug it back in to get internet back. i know that sometimes interference can be an issue. i am trying to narrow it down. the terminal is plugged directly into the wall and the only other thing connect to that wall outlet is a powerstrip with the PC, lamp and speakers connected.

If it is any help...I had to do this at first with mine.....but after a few times....they just started to work 100% and I have never had any bother ever since.

Maybe not the technical opinion that u were looking for but, maybe they just need to settle in properly :wtf:

Is your lamp you have plugged or any lamps near(same leg) touch lamps, could cause interference. But, so could other stuff, as stated in some of the pages linked.

Touch lamps and dimmers on the same circuit usually cause havoc.....
