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.

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
