Tags: #Maximum Speed
Model: TL-PA7017P KIT  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 3.2.4_701F14_191101_901

I use two TL-PA7027P adapters for short distance but I get a maximum speed of 213 Mbit/s.
According to the tpPLC software, there is a connection between the two adapters of 860-760 Mbit/s, but this is never reached.
I would have to switch off the Powersaving mode because switching it on reduces the speed by half.

How possible to reach a greater data throughput?

  @Joe-P Looks like you're confusing gross line bandwidth with actual net payload throughput. As with any other shared-media network (like WiFi), expected net throughput is about one third of gross bandwidth.

 

Where's the rest? You can't send and receive at the same time, so transmission "acknowledge" packets disrupt transmissions. You have media noise and random disruptions, packet loss and transmission retries and errors.

 I find this 213 Mbit/s speed too slow from a 1000 Mbit/s PowerLAN adapter. (I expect min. 300-400 Mbit/s)
My WiFi Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168 reaches 324 Mbit/s and a Realtek 8814AE Wireless LAN 802.11ac reaches 490 Mbit/s.
I have to try a 2400 Mbit/s adapter from another manufacturer.
I'm disappointed.
