minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-21 year agoYeah it’s unfortunately a roll of the dice as to how your house is wired up. I’ve got a set of G.hn powerline adapters from Devolo which tend to get somewhere between 1-1.5gbps between each node in my house. The exact same adapters in my friend’s house got ~40mbps. So as has unfortunately always been the way, powerline is amazing except when it’s just not.
