parthiban Both the PCs I have connected by powerline have gigabit network cards but I only have the 200Mb adapters so it's irrelevant :laugh:

Ah right, most people would use it to connect a remote device to a switch or router, and most home user network kit like that isn't gig capable Smile Didn't realise you were doing PC to PC directly.

I use both to be honest, normal use it's going through the router, but if files need to be moved or some media streaming then use it directly.

I think you were right the first time, 35Mb/s makes more sense as 35MB/s would be the equivalent of about 280Mb/s?

Saraj So thata the internet speed not sure wat transfer rates are

I suppose that means the powerline isn't matching the full internet speed, but it's still quicker than wireless and more than enough :thumbup:

Right did i test over the powerline adaptors i bought from ebay

there say it transfers at 200Mbps, i have 50meg broadband

My new laptop now has wireless N built in, the router is wireless N and the ps3 is connected to the powerline adaptor which is then connecting to the router

I transfered filed from my laptop to the PS3 wireless, total file size 949mb it took 8 minutes 30 seconds

which means its transferring at only 1.86Mbps, which frankly is not good

But cant expect more from it, unless i do direct ethernet connection

Beats wireless G anyday

You're confusing megabits and megabytes Saraj...

The powerline adaptors are max 200 megabits per second
The broadband / cable is max 50 megabits per second

A 10 megabits per second connection can transfer about 1.25 megabytes per second.

So your powerline connection is doing about 15 megabits per second (about ADSL2 speed). Not what's advertised, but not surprising (as I said earlier in the thread, powerline is a bodge of epic proportions). However your test is flawed - your need to be testing to something on the other end of the powerline, not something on the wireless network.

Yep you right I am getting confused with it all

The test I did is what I use it for and wanted an increase in transfer rate from what I had previously, which was the PS3 being on wireless G and awfully slow

Ill give the direct try one day and see what I get.

Bascially with my setup up it took 8 minutes 30 seconds to transfer i file of 949 megabytes if the PS3 was on wireless G im sure this would alot alot longer
