I have a 25mbps DL/5mbps UL speed from Comcast. What kind of speeds should I expect from this adapter?

I have comcast 120/11 and I get around 80/10 even though it says its connected at 270mb/s in the power line utility.

Thanks, for the help but one more question...I have done some tests and the highest throughput I got was 12mbps/4.5mbps with a cheap pair of Asoka Pluglink 9650's...Would I see a better improvement, or is this product not worth the money?

I have Time Warner Cable Extreme (30 Mbps down / 5 Mbps up) and 3 TL-PA511 adapters (2 upstairs and 1 downstairs). The modem is downstairs in the office (OFFICE) by the first adapter. The second adapter is in the master bedroom (ROOM 1) and third in my brothers room (ROOM 2). I ran a few test to help answer your question. Test 1 (speakeasy.net) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 16 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 24 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 2 (speakeasy.net) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 16 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 25 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 3 (speakeasy.net) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 17 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 28 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 4 (speakeasy.net) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 16 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 20 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 5 (TWC Speed Test) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 18 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 28 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) Test 6 (TWC Speed Test) OFFICE: 33 Mbps / 5 Mbps ROOM 1: 21 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) ROOM 2: 23 Mbps / 5 Mbps (through powerline adapter) I also recorded a few rates reported by the TP-Link Utility. I was running the utility on my laptop in the office, so it reported the rates to ROOM 1 and ROOM 2. Recorded Rate #1 (TP-Link Utility) ROOM 1: 39 Mbps ROOM 2: 64 Mbps Recorded Rate #2 (TP-Link Utility) ROOM 1: 46 Mbps ROOM 2: 68 Mbps Recorded Rate #3 (TP-Link Utility) ROOM 1: 52 Mbps ROOM 2: 70 Mbps Recorded Rate #4 (TP-Link Utility) ROOM 1: 54 Mbps ROOM 2: 71 Mbps

I have noticed no difference from a LAN line and this unit. Streams netflix type services with no issues

This question is old but no one has really answered it correctly. Your connection to the internet is limited to 25Mbs by your isp (comcast) this product will not speed up your internet access beyond the restrictions set by the isp (25Mbs). However this powerline adapter is rated to perform at a theoretical speed limit of 500Mbs that means that any communication between two nodes (computers) connected by these adapters can achive a theoretical top speed of 500Mbs.

Depends on the house wiring. I have 35-40 Mb/s but from adapter I'm getting about 7 MB/s

Its just a modem - you'll have to get a separate router. Unlike what comcast provides which is a dual purpose modem/router.

I don't know because my internet went up to 75 MBPS, I used to use these Netgear 85 adapters, but noticed that they slowed down the download speed, so I switched to TP-LINK TL-PA4010 KIT (2 adapters) they are 500 MBPS and work great, measures the same speed directly at the router and in the other room via TP-LINK. I through away netgears 85, old technology by now. Good luck

I used this to do a MoCa network for my Tivo. I tried to upgrade my splitters to 2GHZ Monster splitters and I started to have my internet modem drop out every so often. I use Comcast, A Comcast tech came out and said 2GHZ was not needed so he replaced both of them with there own 1000 MHZ splitters. It has only been about a week and a half and no drops so far. The connection does include the same POE Filter both times. As far as the MoCa networking signal I have had no problems when the modem has been up and have had a great signal with no pixellating or judders in watching tv shows from one Tivo to another Tivo in a different room. I hope this descrikption helps I used this to do a MoCa network for my Tivo. I tried to upgrade my splitters to 2GHZ Monster splitters and I started to have my internet modem drop out every so often.

I dont know. I have comcast cable. I was trying to resolve a different issue with my internet signal being weak. I can say it did not help in my case. Sorry I couldnt help.

I used a powerline adapter to run internet from my router to the TV area. One small box plugs into an outlet at the router and another at the TV. They then use the electrical lines to carry the internet signal. The speed is 11 MBps which is fine for HD streaming with Netflix. (Actually I have a 4 port hub behind the TV because my Direct TV receiver, XBox 360, and Sony TV, and soon Blu Ray player all use the internet).

While this might seem to be a good price, be aware that this package uses older Powerline standards. What you want to maximize throughput is the latest version (500Mbps), which is the NETGEAR Powerline 500 Mbps 4-port Network Adapter Kit (XAVB5004), not the model you're asking about. While you are still somewhat at the mercy of your home's wiring, the latest model uses adaptive technology to maximize throughput. I upgraded to the 500Mbps model and stream 1080p through my home without issues.

I use it with my Comcast Dory modem (router, phone, and modem combo) without any problems. Speed seems to be the same more or less but I only do video streaming on this particular PC.

Excuse me I am somewhat novice.Recently I bought D link N560 router and fixed on my desktop.I get signal with only 54 mbs speed and at about 60 ft distance on my Dell D 600 lap top.Will this adapter will give higher speed and range?I have 100 mbps Bright House cable connection on my desktop.I shall feel obliged to have you reply,though this may sound very primitive question.Thanks.....Ashok

John, not sure if it works well at 5ghz I can tell you that I noticed a reduced speed when using it to extend the range of my dlink router.

I do not know the speed, but you would think its 100 Mbit/s because that's what Ethernet is capable of.Anyway, when I watch movies using DLNA, I have not had any hiccups or slowdown whatsoever. But of course I watch movies that are that big in file sizes.

Here is what I found out having just bought one (10/30/14). I was able to go on-line to Comcast after connecting the modem to the cable and a network cable directly to a notebook computer.The modem provisioned without any issues.The phone service work fine to.Here is the hitch...While there are no problems with the modem and it shows up on Comcast's OK modem list I found out the modem is still undergoing testing and not fully supported yet. This means you should be able to get standard internet speeds but if you have the higher speed blast service it will only transfer at standard speeds. They told me this should be fixed within a month... we will see ;) Here is what I found out having just bought one (10/30/14).

Yes, this works with Comcast (and most US ISPs) for plans up to 38Mbps in speed. ISPs have been pushing customers to upgrade to DOCSIS 3 modems as a means of generating additional profit through sales and lease of equipment. If you're plan is 38Mbps or less in speed, this modem works just fine.

DSL speeds e.g. 1.5 up and down are probably going to be your minimum that would make watching your home TV viable. Any cable speed should be fine.

This adapter provides an alternative connection to the Internet. It requires a 10/100 cable connection, as you might find in a business office or as an output from a home router setup. My experience with Wifi connections gives me 2 - 3 MB of upload / download speed. A 10/100 connection allows my netbook to run at 8 - 9 MB speed.

I have standard internet (15mbps) with Time Warner and this modem works fine. If you are subscribing to a service faster than 30 mbps (this one is rated at 38 mbps down/30 up) I would suggest another one on their approved list. This modem is ipv6-ready so it should work fine for speeds lower than 30.
