RE: Tech Review: D-Link PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit and AV2 2000 Gigabit Adapters
I am curious to learn about two things, packet loss and a random disconnects.
We have a similiar device and there is a pernament packet loss. This means the application we use is slower than connected directly to the switch. It's not a big problem but one that a person needs to consider when deciding this and cable/wifi.
Another problem is random disconnect. When this happens the red light shows and no more connection. Simple fix is to plug out and plug back in, but this can be a serious problem for user who is connected remotely-user must visit the location to fix.
Have not observed packet loss or random disconnects, this of course can depend a lot on the electrical installation and the devices plugged into it... there could be some electrical appliance that is causing the issues.
D-Link have a simple tool for management of their PowerLine adapters over the network, so if you have remote access to a PC in the location that is not connected to a PowerLine adapter you might be able to reconnect the adapters remotely.
Not sure what brand of devices you are using as well as what generation are they though…
yes we have older no-name power adapter. there's no lan socket and customers visit so a lan cable would be ugly.
it works but not very satisfied overall, the best choice in my location would be extra flat cable but the carpet is glued to the ground.
great article upvoted
I wasn't very happy with some earlier generation devices, but it seems that the latest generation PowerLine adapters are behaving pretty good... :)
