Latency im not sure. But bit error rate is better. Far better

Because of the higher quantity of concrete and electrical wiring in our walls over here, wireless is inherently less effective here than in the West.

To get an insight into what factors cause homeplugs to be less effective, I would strongly suggest you watch some videos by surestreamer on Youtube. It's by Eco Dream Venture, a company here in Malaysia who is proposing a device called Powerline-Ace to reduce the problems inherent in the technology. Calvin, the CTO, explains the problems much better than I can. Since the company is located near me, I am going to go see them some time in the next few days to see whether powerline technology will be a viable alternative to wired networking.

This is my ping result comparing WiFi and Homeplug

WiFi - 6~8ms
Homeplug - 3~5ms

So, homeplug latency is definitely better.
I'm using Homeplug for my TV which is at master bedroom while the 615 is at living room.

Planning something like this.

May I ask if you are reliably streaming 1080p to your master bedroom TV? If so, are you using 200Mbps plugs, and if they are plugged into wall sockets or extension power cord?

Let me tell you my experience with extension cord.

Due to the insufficient of plug point, I have no choice but to use power trip extension gang although it is not recommended.

At first, both ends of the Homeplug are connected to power strip like this

Router end: -- X X X H
TV end: -- X X X H

-- = Power Cord
X = Other electrical device (i.e. Dect phone, BTU, DLink 615, TV)
H = Aztech Homeplug AV

Watching SD channels are fine, but when it comes to HD channels like LUXE.TV totally cannot use all blockish and garbled picture.

Somehow I got it perfectly working now by switching the Homeplug to the closest one near the power cord cable like this.


Router end: -- H X X X
TV end: -- H X X X

I guess the problem occur when the Homeplug signal got alot of interference while struggling to channel through 3 electrical devices on the power strip. Switching it to the 1st outlet nearest to the cord solves the issue.

EDIT: HyppTV HD channels are 1080i, not 1080p

yup.. i agree with u. if u are using ext cord.. please make sure plug the homeplug to the first/nearest socket

ya...it true..if not maybe u suffering slow connection...

Get a Aztech HL 110 EP, u won't waste a plug point at least!

Costs about RM120 @ LOW YAT

I got 4, dual connection of IPTV & Data from MASTER, stream to whole house.

So far so good......

How you separate data and IPTV?

I'm working on that at the moment. Will probably involve an economiser.

create 2 pair for homeplug. one pair for iptv and one pair for data..

I see, never used homeplug before. Dunno 1 house can run multiple lan using homeplug. If the homeplug support vlan tagging and trunking it will be better.

it will support vlan tagging... should be no problem.

hi,

i otw getting vip5, and plan used DIR-615 as Bridge Mode + WRT54GL Tomato, my noob question is :-

IPTV, can i use with my PC in my room ? can i used same time with my TV at hall ? How can i manage/setup , what equipment need? plz guide and tqvm

Distance plan :-
a) Router IPTV - PC = 8-10meter
b) Router IPTV - TV = 10-12 Meter
c) possible control different chanel with different pc/tv ? how abt remote ?

IPTV on PC.. NO, u need STB huawei for that because of the DRM..

hi

i have two pair of homeplugs.
one pair for data
another paid is for iptv.

but the iptv just dont work fine.
.. i have a problem with my IPTV.. the picture appear to be jagged. my internet appear to work fine.


how do you configure two pair of homeplugs working in the same powerline?

i have 1 x HL110EW (wireless N extender) and 3 x HL110E

Hi, good news.... Aztech 500Mbps HomePlug AV with AC Pass Through will be available soon in July. Remember to check out Aztech Website for special launch promotion

Install the utility and you will see the NEtwork name are AV Homeplug for all 4 units.
You have to separate them by changing Network names to IPTV (2units) and Internet (2units).
Then they will link to it's own network...

thanks for ur reply.
tried that but everytime i reopen the utility, the network name revert back to HomePlugAV

I think you need to make the pair separately.
