The maximum Ethernet speed is usually about half the PHY value. And the ACTUAL network speed is usually less (depending on the wiring in your house, what you have plugged in, etc.) With powerline, for a PHY rate of 200Mbps you can usually expect actual network speeds ranging from 40-60Mbps. I installed a couple of adapters from Plaster Networks that let you measure the network performance in real time through your browser - actually pretty cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
