Those are only 10/100 over ethernet.
Thanks anyway

I was going for the black more than the speed, as your options are limited it would seem.
PersonallyI use the Devolo 650 Triples so have no speed worries. But, they are white..
I think you may have to decide which is the more important, fast connection or decor. I have heard that monochrome is a must on trend this season.;)

Really, you haven't, you may think you have.

Why would you think he hasn't? Plenty experience over the 150Mbs.
One example......

Forgive me if i'm wrong (and I probably am) but isn't the speed of the homeplug affected by the electrical wiring and if the plugs are on the same ring, so even gigabit plugs may mean speeds may not get upto 152mbps

Small pot of gloss black paint would do the job?

Seriously, if it's that bigger deal, i'd mask off any buttons/lights and then take a can of black spray paint to them, Aldi have some in regularly, or you could use Plastikote.

I fondly remember buying a bed mattress many years ago at half price, because "it was last year's colour"! :T

Painting white ones may have to be the way to go.Actually just the one would do :-)

If your current ones are only reporting 25 then your limiting factor may be your mains wiring.

what are your current powerline models?

You do have gigabit network on the PC?

I've done a comparison this afternoon.
With the homeplug....Xenta85M PLC,which is rated up to 85Mb...I was getting 15Mb.
I then installed a Belkin wi-fi adaptor,which gave me 19Mb.
Tests were done within a minute of each other.

My pc is gigabit.

I've done some further reading which suggests 25Mb is the max for a 10/100 connection and around 100Mb for gigabit via homeplugs.
Don't know how true this is

Thats your first problem, powerline has moved on a lot since verion 1

Moving to any AV(500) or AV2(650) version even with 100Mb NIC will improve your throughput.


Remember network adaptors are 100mb in each direction the powerline number is for all traffic at the PHY layer
