mine says 200 mbps too...however, you only get 100 mbps. I'm not sure
why that is.

results on these guys...I did see that Fry's also carries the Powerline HD
which is supposed to be 200mbs also but i thought I'd stick with the AV as
that is what is currently reported as quality, consistent results.
thanks for the feedback.

I am very pleased with the current Powerline AV stuff. I can move an 11 GB
file from upstairs, at one end of a 60-ft long house, to downstairs at the
other end, in about 35 minutes. I've been testing this for days and days,
both day and night, now with the same results. So, with a dual band router,
I have some stuff at 2.4 GHz, some at 5 GHz, some wired at 1000mbps, and
then powerline at 100 mbps. I think the powerline is more consistent
through walls and distance than wireless will ever be. My house was built in
1988, too.

Well, I got my powerline stuff a day early....all of it is netgear, but
still running the linksys wrt56g at 10/100.
Getting the netgear powerline stuff going is too easy...just plug in the
PL
adapter, plug in the ethernet cable to it, and than plug in the other
piece
(I got the 4 port AV unit) into a socket someplace. So right now I have
the
laptop at the other end of the house (one level down), where the wireless
signal barely makes it. But on the powerline system I got 100 Mbps
network
(what's reported) and I am transfering files at 45 Mbps (big files).
Of course, that same file moved over the router to my other PC moves at
92
Mbps.
So wired ethernet is definitely better than powerline, but we knew that.
I can't wait to try this on the Netgear router...it will take longer to
get
that up, so I'm doing simple tests first.

Subject: [H] Powerline adapter (rather than wireless N)
Since I have both Tivo and a Blu-ray player downstairs, I'm think that
perhaps a powerline adapter would be a better option. That way, I could
connect both devices over a powerline network rather than using a
special
adapter for Tivo and nothing for the Blu-ray. And, if I get an XBox or
something like that, I have a ready solution for networking. From some
reading, the logic goes that a wired ethernet connection is best,
followed
by a powerline connect, and then a wireless connection. Is that true? I
live in a two story house, so one wondering if the wiring is truly
connected
between the levels.
Anyone played with one?
I guess I can be the tester...
-----------------------------------------
So I hear that Tivo now has an 802.11n wireless adapter.
I get spoiled watching HD movies from Amazon on my Tivo XL.
Having the speed of 802.11n would make the transfers faster.
But my laptops are 802.11b and g. Will they work on an 802.11n system?
Are the backward compaticable?
Would my new phone (Droid Incredible), when I get it, be able to use
802.11n on its WiFi? What about an iPad? Is everything new these days
802.11n ready?
I just read the descriptions of two different products on Amazon and
neither of them mentioned backwards compatibility. That makes me think
it's
not there.
If it is there, which router is best?
