Best powerline adapters out there

Dhrucku

I will be getting Sky Fibre installed this week and will be installing a couple of powerline adapters to route the net through my house electrical wiring, not wanting to wire up 10-20 metres of wire through the house!

Anyone know of any good brands? I've done a quick search and see that Solwise are pretty good and Devolo. Looking for a pair that has fast speeds and not too precious on whether it has wi-fi as a perk.

Thanks in advance.

A friend found that TP-Link Homeplugs died quite frequently. I've been using Zyxel for a couple of years and I've had one of those die. Zyxel were very good and replaced it quickly and with little fuss.

Get the fastest speed you can find, 500Mbps are available now, or at a minimum the 200Mbps one. The older ones (85Mbps) will be too slow for the fibre.

Would always recommend Solwise.

I see you got your fibre organised with Sky then.

buy the 'TP-LINK 500Mbps Nano Powerline' from Argos. This is enough for both HD and 3D content.

I prefer the passthrough type then you have still got the use of the socket, example :-

+1 TP-Link. Solid & reliable.

I did a bit of research on these and to maximise performance (ignoring internal wiring capability) these came out on top. These don't have a WiFi functionality which wasn't important to me but came out on top over the competing Devolo's by a small amount.

Personally prefer the TPlinks mainly because they are plug and play and work with all brands
