less utp cable! :toast:
Can I connect 1 STP cable to it, and one STP cable from it to another PC to have 500Mbps LAN?:wtf:
The reason you get half the rated speed is that the 500mbps speed rating is both directions at once - so you get 250 each direction.You don't need a router at all - as you said if you don't use a router it will work as a fast LAN. It is just assumed that the vast majority of users would want to get the internet through a kit like this.
Of course I would love to see more routers coming out with this kind of thing built-in so the power plug for the router also acts as a connection point for these things...
Next month I move another floor up and across to the other side of the house, and have been dreading running cable all through the house, but I might just get one of these (or one like it) instead.
For some reason I thought they weren't any good.
Why no wireless? I have that too (for just in case), but it interferes with my wireless mouse and keyboard.
Maybe I am missing something , and such devices already exist? Any info? :)
1gbps from Belkin and Solwise has been around for ages, since 2009 already ?
I have used Solwise back in UK when I was there and still using Belkin 1gbps for 6+months in Mexico at holiday home.
Currently shopping for 10gbps powerline / homeplug AC wall plug 110v/220v networking adapters, 10gbps powerline should have been out already.
7gbps 60ghz wifi is on the way as well.
Belkin:

Solwise new updated version of 1gbps:
www.solwise.co.uk/net-powerline-gig-index.htm
500mbps that is the new slow standard for cable modems "Motorola sb6100" / vdsl2+ to ADSl backwards compatible modem "Zyxel" successor.
TAVIX:
See Solwise videos on their linked page.
You need 2 of these, same brand, same speed, same specs, one side connected to the internet and other to pc, used to be max stack of 4x64 on 1 AC circuit ie: 4 networks with total 64 "63+1" exit points to pc's.
It is a glorified non WIFI "bridge".
Used to be 1gbps = 1 main point that controls + 63 slave / pc connection adapters max.
