I think it is time to upgrade my dated 200mbps power line adaptors (Netcomm NP204). They are ok for Netflix in SD and general use, but I find downloading files is still rather slow. If my main goal is only to carry the traffic to and from the 100mbps fibre broadband, would a 500-600 mbps power line adaptor with Gigabit port be good enough? or does one need a 1000+ mbps power line adaptor? I guess my question is, at 500-600 mbps, is the bottleneck with the power line adaptor, or is it with the Fibre?To get my three storey house covered I will probably need 4 power line units (some with Wifi broadcast). Therefore if I can use 500-600 mbps adaptors instead the more expensive 1000+ mbps units to save money, the saving will be quite substantial.While researching this topic I have come across a lot about mesh Wifi like google wifi and Amplifi. I wonder how they compare in real life to power line adaptors in a place where there are 15 different SSID from various neighbours.. I presume power line would still be a better option in this setting? Besides the mesh wifi setups are probably a bit too expensive for me.Any suggestions welcome.. Thanks
