I've been curious about powerline system performance for awhile now so I did some quick testing with a couple of TP-Link powerline systems I had in stock to the Internet. One included WiFi and was rated to 600 bps. The other did not have WiFi and was just a wired connection back to the router via commons but was rated gigabit (1200 bps).
When they were plugged in side by side in an outlet they both maxed out at 95 Mbps (basically maxed out my 100 Mbps connection) to Ookla speed test on the net. Both tested right around 50 on Google's speed test. (Not sure why these two sites are always so different at higher speeds.
Moving to the furthest electrical point I have which is an electrical outlet in the garage (~100 feet from router) both Ookla and Google test at 12 Mbps on the 600 powerline module and 20-22 Mbps on the 1200 powerline system.
These powerline systems have better short range performance than I remember but I wish they held up better at distance. I'd like to test a bit more at short range to see what the upper limits are there instead of being capped by my Internet connection but not the time right now.
