What will be faster in practice, the AV1300 or AV2000 if I only use one wired port?
Hi,
Currently I'm using the AV1300 powerline adapter. I'm pretty far away from the source and am reaching a max of 4+ MB/sec. I'm only using 1 port of the adapter. My question is if my speed will improve if I switch to AV2000.

@stan0611 It would seem unlikely as the speeds you are seeing indicate your electrical circuits, not the AV1300, is the bottle neck. Unless the AV2000 somehow makes your electrical circuits more efficient in forwarding data I would think the speed won't improve.

@veedub I thought maybe because it uses a different frequency range, it could be faster. A little correction: I currently have the AV1200. The frequency range is 2-68 MHz i read somewhere. The AV2000 has a frequency range of 2-86 MHz.
But I'm going to try it out anyway. Once I have some testresults I'll post them here

@stan0611 It is hard for me to say for sure but I see it something like this: lets say you have two switches, both 100Mb/s in speed connected together by a cable that only supports 10Mb/s. Upgrading the switches to 1Gb/s is not going to improve things as the cable was and still is the bottleneck.
Now that being said, I know a bit about networking but nothing really at all about the Powerline networking and it is possible that newer versions not only increase the theoretical maximum throughput but by doing so eek more efficiency out of the electrical circuits or use them more effeciently by doing so. This *may* allow you to get more speed with new units but I can't see massive gains occuring.

@veedub I also don't know. It's hard to find info about it. I will test it and see for myself :)

@veedub I've done some testing. The results of the AV2000 are less stable. Same tests show different results. Overall the max download did not improve. But the max upload did, around 30% faster.
Gonna try this one for a while :)
