Find ways to boost data movement over connections.
I prefer the wired internet, but the Wi-Fi in another room isn't great either.
The AV500 supports only 10/100 ports, not gigabit. Through the powerline adapters you'll be limited to around 10/11MB/s. Still, that's quite solid given my own speeds of 7-8 MB/s in a 70s house with two floors in between. That's why I chose a wireless AC bridge instead (now delivering 40-50MB/s).
yeah i didnt pay attention to the powerline figures. however for me main purpose of the file transfer is between the NAS and computer and they are sitting next to each other in a room at the end of the flat and router at the other end. So what i will do, after the powerline adapter, i will just hook a 1000 mbps switch and after 2 machines will be connected to this switch, which they will benefit from 1000 mbps connection hopefully. I will try it anyways, if it doesnt work, i return the switch, that easy But i will consider later maybe running an Ethernet cable directly from the router to the switch (to the room with nas and the computer) because this way i will have better transfer speeds for my media server experience. I have 40 gb movies sitting on the NAS and they are served via 100 mbps connection to the router for DLNA experience.
In conclusion, I bought the switch and connected both the NAS and the computer to it. The switch receives the internet via a powerline adapter at 100 Mbps. File transfers between the NAS and the computer reached speeds of 100-130 Mb/s. Appreciate the assistance!
