Mixing powerline adaptors

2020-01-16 12:50:52

I'm considering a pair of TP-Link AV2000 powerline adaptors to run from my main PC to the router with attached storage.

I have a really old TP-Link adaptor with WiFi I was going to use in another room. Will having the older powerline adaptor in the mix affect the max speed potential between my PC and the router? I realise AV2000 is only theoretical and will be much lower than advertised anyway, but don't want the old one dragging down the overall speeds.

@PoisonJam

Hello, what is the model number of your old device and this AV2000? It starts with TL-WPA/PAXXX, you can find it on the back label.

For your information, all the powerline adapters are compatible with each other; with AV2000 and junior devices used together, the speed between the AV2000 and the lower rate unit will be limited by the latter one; while the speed between the AV2000 will be fine even though there is a little lit effect on it.

You can read this article to get more information.
