Powerline Speed Test Results - Same Room
The first test was done in the same
room sharing the same power plug. This, in theory, should be the maximum
transmit/receive speeds for each Powerline. We left the security
encryption off of all the units during our test to try and minimize any
interference or compression.
When we played our HD videos, we found each played with no problems or stuttering. Even though there appears to be a difference between the test numbers between our ‘best’ performer – the TrendNET and the Netgear – each had the same performance when it came to streaming our 720p and 1080p videos.
To be honest, out of all our tests, the “Same Room” tests are probably the least useful since if you are serious about using a Powerline Adapter, you most likely will want to connect a computer or net-ready device that is remote and not local. This test does give us a pretty good indication of the maximum transmission and receive speeds of each of the units.
Let’s look at how our adapters work when we move our computer down the hall to another room.
