Powerline or new wireless card (5 GHz)?

I have a qualcomm atheros ar9287 wireless network adapter installed. This can only be 2.4 Ghz. I also reach my 45k. So for a 50k line eig. Very good.

Recently the telekom called and said we had a 100k contract. That was also true, with lan cable I reached 96k. When wlan from pc and laptop only 40-50k…

The Speedport also supports 5 ghz, my phone is connected to it and tells me 110k download speed…

The router is almost below me in floor 1 (living room) and my room is just over it. In the neighborhood they have at least one router. (Development area, all family houses)

I ordered the powerline: https://www.amazon.de/...h-forum-21

because some thought that would be much better. Well, pusteplume:

with Wlan 49K Download, 28K Upload, 21 Ping.

with Powerline 3-4K Download, 33K Upload, 30 Ping

In addition, after connecting via LAN cable, the wireless LAN works for all devices, such as mobile phones, Smart TV, etc. Not anymore. If the cable is disconnected from the PC or router, the Wi-Fi works again.

What can this be? The house is a homemade even and should have only one circuit… And there are hardly disturbing factors, because the kitchen etc. On the other side are in the house…

Are the parts unusable or defective? Or rather a Wlan card the 5 Ghz supported?

pr

So you have a value of 3 download and 33 upload via Powerline?

Br

Yes powerlines can cause problems… Wlan I think would work but it is best to relocate lan lines. I also have to overcome but since then there were no more problems. Occasionally the router needs to reboot but that's up to the router and is relatively normal. Before we had much more problems.

Wa

According to various speed tests in about. No indication why. Are the adapters evt defective? These are unrealistic values, but after connecting all the wireless devices lose the connection…

Wa

Well, lan cable is not or undesirable in my house. That's why I'm looking for a better alternative. I want to be able to use this 100K too. 5 GHz seems to go at least on cell phone.

Lo

Because some thought that would be much better.

Anyone who claims that has no idea and has never seen the stuff in action.

There are hardly any disturbing factors

Suffice a single cheap LED bulb whose power supply returns noise on the line.

Powerline is always the worst of the connectivity options. In a densely populated area, it may be better than 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, but that's about it.

As long as you only have to go through a ceiling, 5 GHz WLAN works perfectly. Have you already found out with your mobile phone? Return the Powerline Kit and buy the TP-Link Archer T2UH Stick for 20 euro. Then you get the 100 Mbit / s to the PC.

pr

Most likely, actually, powerlan is still the best alternative to Wi-Fi if you put so much emphasis on getting a better powerlan. Or test your powerlan on function

Wa

I thought so too, I just tried it and it does not funzt.

Which Wlan map can be used well? WLAN USB stick I had tested several at the beginning of this year. All bring only a ping of 100. In shooters miserable…

Wa

Hmh ok thanks! Go back and think with your 5 Ghz card it would work better. I think for 45 euro there are also good cards for it

Lo

The T2UH works fine with me, Ping is at 25ms and over 10m as the crow flies with two walls (but with doors) in between come from 200 Mbit / s still good 100 at.

I do not know any cards, as I only recommend sticks. Make much less trouble, at least as long as you have a good one. Also had one of the highly praised AVM, who has not been good for nothing.

Wa

Ok, I'll test it out. The router is right under me, so only 1 ceiling wall in between. To make sure again, that's the stick you mean?: https://www.amazon.de/...00L31BL5S/

Lo

Nonsense. Powerline is always inferior to 5GHz wireless, unless you have to go through three walls of air-raid shelter. The things are neither broken, nor would he achieve significantly better results with another kit.

Lo

Yeah, that's it.

Wa

Thank you! Then I drive directly to MM and buy me. Let's see if it manages to live up to my expectations.

pr

The latency is lower at powerlan

Lo

Neither. Whether you transmit by radio or cable makes no difference. This would bring you the best latency nothing, if you get it by spurious signals on the line packet loss of death.

Wa

Thank you again! It works perfect. I can download 11 mb / s even at steam instead of just 5 mb / s. The ping is also stable below 20. I do not care about uploading. 94 mbits come through instead of only 50 …

Lo

I say yes. ^^
