Hello,

I already have a TL-PA8030P KIT (2 plugs, 1200 Mbits/s, homeplug AV2).
I need a third plug, but I can not find a TL-PA8010P. I have just found the kit; but I do not need the second plug...

So I am thinking of buying an AV 500 plug like the TL-PA4010P (which is more affordable!). This one is Homeplug AV1 (500Mbits/s) only.

What I need to know is what will be the overall data speed of such a setup? Will it be 1200 between the two AV1200 link and 500 between AV500 and AV1200? Or always 500?

By the way, the actual speed of my setup is far far from the 1200 Mbits/s; more and less 245 Mbits; which is still far from 500 Mbits! So will I get 120 Mbits (half the speed) if all the network fall down to AV1? Or will I still get 245 Mbits/s in AV1 as 245<<500?

Another question, the AV500 plug will be used for a media center, which will be off when I do not watch movies. The two AV1200 plugs are used with computers always on. When the media center plugged to the AV500 is off, the plug should go to powersave mode as I understand of the datasheet. In this case, what will be the datarate of the 2 remaining AV 1200 plugs? 1200Mbits or 500Mbits?
Same question if I configure the media center with wake on lan feature.

Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Guillaume

As far as I understand, there are two potential ways to setup different powerline adaptors (AV600 and AV1200), either: (a) pair and connect all of them under a common powerline network, or (b) pair and connect the AV1200 ones together under a separate powerline network name and separately pair and and connect the AV600 ones. This means that your modem will be connected to 2 powerline units; one AV600 and the other AV1200. As far as (a) setup is concerned, certainly the whole network would run at AV600/500Mbps maximum potential speed. I am not sure whether the second (b) setup, would work, but it perhaps makes more sense: the AV1200 network connect at that speed, whereas the AV600 network will connect at another.
