The editors liked

  • Seems to try to work around noise sources
  • Can provide 300Mbps of total throughput with multiple traffic sources
  • • Capable of 200+ Mbps peak throughput for single connection
  • The ZyXel Homeplug AV2 Gigabit Powerline Adapter Starter Kit provides almost four times the speed of a regular Ethernet connection. It's plug-and-play with no setup or configuration required at all

The editors didn't like

  • Huge up and downlink throughput difference when running bidirectional traffic
  • Expensive compared to better performing alternatives
  • Throughput falls off quickly with distance
  • Single adapter not available
  • The kit's price is comparatively high. The adapters are relatively bulky
  • And without a pass-through power socket

  • Huge up and downlink throughput difference when running bidirectional traffic, Expensive compared to better performing alternatives
  • There's not much sense using the Powerline Ranker to sum up, since the PLA5206 currently stands alone in its AV2 SISO-750 class. So let's look at the Powerline Charts' average down and uplink values for all AV2 SISO products.For downlink, TP-LINK's TL-PA6...

  • • Capable of 200+ Mbps peak throughput for single connection
  • Throughput falls off quickly with distance, Single adapter not available
  • It's nice that we finally have an "official" 500 Mbps powerline standard. But since all the "AV 500" adapters used the same Qualcomm Atheros AR1500/AR7400 chipset, AV 500 was a de facto standard anyway.So are a pair of AV2 500 Mbps (or 600 Mbps as ZyXEL c...

  • Zyxel's PLA5206 is the first 1000Mbps power-line adapter that we have tested, and has a slight performance edge over the 600Mbps models. Within our test suite, we are only able to measure the difference in the test with interference, and it isn't all th...

  • Gute Verarbeitung, Einfache Inbetriebnahme, Einfache Bedienung, Stabile Verbindung, Access Point, Verschlüsselung, Geringer Stromverbrauch
  • Größe des PLA5236, Mäßiger Datendurchsatz
  • Das ZyXEL PowerLine Kit ist eine komfortable Lösung, um in wenigen Schritten ein LAN oder WLAN auszubauen. Sinn macht ein solches Kit vor allem dort, wo gerade kein Ethernet Anschluss vorhanden ist oder das WLAN kaum zu erreichen ist. Beachten sollte man...

  • HomePlug AV2 is een forse sprong voorwaarts ten opzichte van de vorige generaties, zoveel is duidelijk. Met name als adapters (en uiteraard ook het stroomnet in huis) gebruikmaken van mimo, dan schiet de snelheid behoorlijk de hoogte in. De enige set 20...

  • Relatief snel (voor powerline), Stabiel & betrouwbaar, Vriendelijk prijskaartje
  • Netwerk loopt vast bij grote file transfers aan de volle snelheid, Wordt warm
  • Prima powerline setje. Geen extra's zoals wifi of geïntegreerde switch, maar doet goed wat ie moet doen. Relatief snel en werkt betrouwbaar. De prijs is prima. Software is wat minder, maar dat is niet echt een probleem. Helaas trekken grote filetransfers...
