Powerline product compatibility #217

Closed 130s closed 6 years ago

130s commented 6 years ago

For this issue https://github.com/130s/30y-130s_life/issues/273 where I'm mixing Powerline products made by 2 different vendors. Since removing one of the Powerline adaptor extender (made by Linksys) solved a slow down issue https://github.com/130s/30y-130s_life/issues/273#issuecomment-338409244, I'm thinking to buy one from the same brand that seems to provide faster throughput (TP-Link).

At the moment I purchased those gears Linksys was the only vendor that sold an adaptor that provides wifi. Now I found TP-Link also sells some.

Would be great if a new product can connect to the Powerline network that is established by an older TP-Link product, so that I can reuse a single Powerline adaptor parent and have multiple terminal adaptors dangle to it. Asked a question on Amazon.

Chose TP-LINK AC1750 Wi-Fi Range Extender, AV1200 Powerline Edition (TL-WPA8730 KIT) . I'm kind of surprised that this time, after the first purchase of Powerline products in 2015, 2 review sites I saw today didn't list TP-Link products not ranked high. Anyways, reviews on Amazon seem good enough and as my initial desire, I want to use the same brand.

I've never been super happy with PLW400 but still somehow rely on it https://github.com/130s/30y-130s_life/issues/1057#issuecomment-992130092.

Btw, I'm also wondering how in/active Powerline development and community is in general. Found 2021 article so it may not be dead nor discontinued (yet).

Not sure if I'm using this wifi client. Gotta figure this out.
