Re: Powerline HomePlug networking

Are there any kind of equipment that interfere with the speed such as microwaves or things with electrical motors in them...vacuums etc...?

Perhaps one of your units is faulty?

Looking at that article, they are talking about the connection speed. Not the throughput, which is a lot lower due to the protocol overheads.

Also, just to cover the bases: Are you getting transfer speeds of 2 Megabit (2Mb) or or 2MegayByte (2MB) which is ~ 16 Megabit?

The packaging does say 85Mb on it. The vista dialogue just said Mb/sec if my memory serves me correctly...

Why don't you simply copy a large file over and measure how long it takes? I would say if you get around 20Mb/s, or 2.5MB/s it's about right.
