Model: Deco P9   TL-WPA8631P KIT  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello everyone,

 

I'm considering the option to get a deco p9 and create a hybrid mesh net in my home, until now I've been using a PLC Kit TL-WPA8631P, the main problem is that:

- I use PLC because there is a thick wall and wifi signal tends to fade, making the link unstable.

- The main power grid distribution is old and there is not electrical grounding so the further from the socket plugged to the PLC attached to the Ethernet line of the router the less speed I get.

 

I was thinking if it could be possible get the most of the link bandwidth from the wifi signal just before wall with the deco and deliver it through the PLC that deco P9 has.

The signal from the wifi perspective would be good, and from the PLC perspective would be at the same time closer to the deco P9 attached to the router (than my plc) and close to the PLC in my room.

 

The big question is, I know both products ( three in reality, deco P9, wpa8631p, TL-pa8010) have the homeplug av2 standard integrated but could they work together to enhance this link?

 

Thankyou community,

Edu

Hi, they could work together, but not in the same powerline network. It is quite like creating two separate powerline networks under the same power grid distribution.

Hello Heidi_Alp and thank you for your answer,

 

I'm not quite sure I understood what you explained, so you mean they can operate in the same power grid but with different nets, so then they wouldn't see each other ( deco-p9 with standalone PLC). Would it be posible the next scheme? The idea would be to get the maximum bandwidth of the link close to the wall and then use the kit I already have just to send it to the other side of the wall. The Deco P9-A represents the one next to the router.
