Powerline Adaptor for Sky Q

[iwaddo]

After continuous issues with my Sky Q dropping off my wifi I'm going to purchase a pair of powerline adaptors.

i've a Sky Max router and wanted to ask about speed. It seems I can get powerline adapters that offer different speeds and there in no point buying something faster than I need as they will be limited by the capability of the Sky Q and router Ethernet ports.

Im looking at the TP-Link range and was wondering which is my best option. I need power pass through and multiple Ethernet ports would be an advantage but it the speed I'm most worried about. 

Thank you for your help.

Hi, Someone must know the answer about the best minimum powerline adapter to use between my Sky Q box and Sky Max router.

I do not want to buy adapters which have better performance than I need to get the best out of both devices.

Thank you for your help

I've answered my own question.

TP-Link support say the TL-PA4020PKIT adapters are fast enough for my 150 Full Fibre Broadband.

Not sure that makes a lot of difference, I don't think you'll  get anything like that from the Sky devices

I would disagree with that. With AV600's you are probably looking at 70-90 Mbps at best because of the 100Mbps port and depending on your mains wiring. Still good enough for connecting Sky boxes together. I'm currently using some AV1200's and only getting 145 Mbps max.

This is useful, thank you.

I was thinking of the TL-PA9020P KIT would be a good replacement.

There are so many to choose.

Get the fastest ones you can afford. You'll need the higher speed one day and they don't operate at their rated speed anyway, except in absolutely ideal conditions.
