10m of duplex multimode is £11GBP

£45 in total would be more reliable and faster than what I've got.0 -

I was surprised at the powerline speed in attic so to ensure I was running test correctly I put the laptop into flight mode to prevent it connecting wirelessly. Still surprised at how close it is to the router speed.0 -

Not really surprising, the tests are _mostly_ half duplex so should see no penalty once the EoP network is working ok. On 1200s in most homes you should be able to hit at least 50Mb.
Why are you using self assigned addresses when you're clearly have gateway connectivity?0 -
I was just following the examples of iperf.0

If LAN speed drop under config with router involved in the link i would suspect router(make/model?) only has 100Mb Ethernet or cables in between. This providing you didn't ran test over WiFi (!!!).0 -
First test was just Laptop1 > ethernet cable > Laptop2
Checking that the cables were 1Gb/s capable.
Router has Gigabit ports.
Second test was First test was just Laptop1 > adapter1 > powerline > adapter2 > Laptop2
Executed using:iperf3 -c 192.xxx.x.xx
Third was above done in reverse (-R)
Fourth test is Laptop1 > adapter1 > powerline > adapter2 > Laptop2

IP is served to every device on the network by DHCP server*.
In home(most) environment DHCP is served by "router". Same "router" act as switch, NAT, actual router and more... ALL-in-ONE
If device not able to connect to DHCP (router) it will assign to itself random IP from 169.254.xxx.xxx range
Scenario1
computer: "who is DHCP?"
DHCP server: "i am!"
computer:"can i have IP please?"
DHCP: "let me see..., here you go, i have IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx available for you."
computer:"thank you, my IP now is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx !"
Scenario2
computer: "who is DHCP?"
.....
.....
computer:":mad:, fcuk you then, i will take 169.254.xxx.xxx. Does anyone use this ? No! good then, my IP now is 169.254.xxx.xxx !"
* there scenarios possible where device is assigned static or specific IP. This again need to be complying with DHCP or IP conflicts might occur and net communication will fail.
It makes no difference for the test what IP is on devices as long you can ensure tested devices are on same network and you are actually testing connectivity between them to devices.
If you had iPerf -s on laptop1 and iperf -c on laptop2 you have tested speed on the cable(or any intermediary networking device, e.g. switch) connecting those two laptops
Real life test would look like (-> = Ethernet link or WiFi)
laptop1(or PC) -> router ->adapter1 -> powerline(actual power cable) -> adapter2 -> laptop2(PC)0 -

I was using iperf3 -s on the server and iperf3 -c <ip_address_of_server> on client. Going by the bold text, I was testing what I need to test.
Question is, why did the results double from initial attempt yesterday?
Just wondering if the difference was that the occupant of the house were out during the day and their evening usage affected the powerlines?0 -
funkey_monkey wrote: »I was using iperf3 -s on the server
Let me try straiten this a bit.
When you ran command iperf3 -s on laptop1 you told application to run in "server" mode (-s stand for server)
When you ran command iperf3 -c on laptop2 you told application to run in "client" mode (-c stand for client)
This how that application work.
IP that you specify in iperf3 -c tells client to run test against that device(laptop1, which running server mode and able to carry test). If, by bold text, you had powerline adapters in between laptops , you got test for whats in between them and all good here.
As for variation to the results - poor cable connection rendered it to negotiate @100Mbps max , who knows.
For internet speed - same again...
Does internet usually fluctuate during day ?
Type of internet connection (mobile, DSL, ... ?).
Was your laptops downloading Win updates that same time?
One thing for sure, it was going through the router. What is not for sure - was it going over cable through powerline adapters or WiFi(to the router directly) that could be weak in the attic.
Many variables possible...0 -
Apologies. Long day...
That is incorrect. Is it a laptop.0 -

Tried it again last night.
When I have 192.xxx.xxx.xxx addresses the speed is slower. 169.xxx.xxx.xxx results in faster speeds.
I get 192 addressing when wifi is on, 169 addressing when in flight mode.
Nots sure if that means that 192.xxx.xxx.xxx addressing is going via wifi - it shouldn't be. Don't really care any more.0 -

Device with such address will not be able to communicate with router and other devices on routers network (192.168.X.x) unless TP-link does NAT (dont think it does so, but correct me if wrong)
Review adapter config...unless really don't care.

That PDF is for the powerlines with wifi.
The only think that it could be is an issue with pairing.0 -

Are you asking to switch to Dynamic or Static? Or just make sure it is 192 address?
As I can only access the powerline via the router there is no way for me to access the extenders management.0 -
Apparently dyn not working well...
If go for static, set it on up high numbers from DHCP range on last octet so less chances it will be issued to some other device.
I have not used them , but sure you will manage
If router 192.168.1.254
unit1 192.168.1.250/24, gate >> router address
unit2 192.168.1.251/24, gate >> router address
As units are exact same , might be possible to connect to one, setup, then swap to other unit and config that then0
