Omada compatible PowerLine adaptor
Hi,
I would like to create a wired link to a room, but hardwiring is not possible.
Can I use a set of TP-Link Powerline adaptors, so I can connect a Omada switch in that room (Without losing any Omada functionality, ie. completely transparent/invisible to Omada OC200)...
So the connection would be:
1. Omada Switch
2. Powerline Master
3. Powerline Slave
4. Omada Switch
If possible, which PowerLine kit (No WiFi needed) would be suitable (Europe/Netherlands region)?

Hi @FredsterNL,
The powerline adapters are not managed devices and should be unseen by network devices using them. The oc200 only has a 100MB port and all of the powerline adapters on the TP-Link site have a "theoretical" speed that should allow it to work. It also appears they are made/sold for your region too. The problem is in the TP-Link disclaimer: "Actual data transfer rate will vary from network environment including: distance, network traffic, noise on electrical wires, building material and construction, quality of electrical installation and other adverse conditions."
I would just get one that can be returned and try it. Plug in devices that can run iPerf on each end and test the throughput. You may want to test the speed while using appliances that might generate any interfearance (see https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/882/). If you consistantly get over 100MB/s keep it.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick answer and advice: I will go ahead and give it a go.
The distance isn't all that far away, but indeed interference can be a complicating factor, so doing an iperf for some time is good advice as well :)
Thanks!
