Отзыв о скорости PowerLine адаптеров TP-Link

Для более полного представления о PowerLine и данном наборе мы решили провести один небольшой тест, дабы понять, не режет ли адаптер скорость, а если да, то насколько сильно?

Для него мы взяли два компьютера и программу AIDA32 Network Benchmark. Задача состояла в том, чтобы измерить скорость передачи данных внутри локальной сети напрямую через роутер (модель Asus RT-N10U) и через адаптеры TP-LINK Powerline — и сравнить результаты.

Первый замер был сделан для определения быстроты работы локальной сети в «чистом виде» — два компьютера подключены к одному роутеру при помощи обычных патчкордов.

Схема самая простая:

А вот данные из бенчмарка:

Ваше мнение — WiFi вреден?

Да
22.93%

Нет
77.07%

Проголосовало: 31503

Как видим, скорость была достаточно стабильной и держалась на уровне 11200 КВ/сек (87 Мбит/с). На самое меньшее значение (резкий скачок на графике) не обращаем внимания — это я не уследил и один из компьютеров ушел в спящий режим.

Второй замер — один комп оставляем как есть — кабелем к роутеру. Второй (ноутбук) отсоединяем и подключаем к роутеру по WiFi.

Никаких помех для радиоволн быть не должно — ноутбук находится прямо рядом с точкой доступа, а работающие источники радиомагнитного излучения (типа микроволновки или сотового телефона) поблизости отсутствовали.

Скорость значительно ниже — более, чем в 5 раз, на уровне 2200 КВ/c (17 Мбит/c). Более того, отмечаем большую амплитуду ее колебания.

Третий замер — один ПК вновь остался подключенным к маршрутизатору напрямую по кабелю, другой — в соседней комнате посредством адаптера TP-Link. Для чистоты эксперимента в это время в электросети в квартире была, скажем так, обычная будничная обстановка — работали только 2 компьютера, участвовавших в тесте, роутер, настольная лампа и холодильник.

Вот что получилось:

Результат — в два раза ниже скорость, чем это было при прямом соединении компьютеров с роутером + высокие колебания по скорости. Показатели по скорости лучше, чем в случае с WiFi, но по стабильности сигнала они примерно находятся в паритете — тот факт, что канал передачи данных (электрические провода) используется не только для интернета, сыграл свою отрицательную роль по сравнению с прямым соединением с маршрутизатором.

Также стоит учесть, что обстановка была не идеальной, но вполне благоприятной для работы всех устройств — ни источников излучений, ни включенных мощных бытовых приборов. К слову говоря, я всегда пользуюсь дома вайфаем и меня это особо не напрягает при повседневной работе за компьютером — серфинг в интернете, просмотр видео, скачивание файлов.

Выводы

Подводя итог, можно сказать, что по результатам теста, устройства powerline вполне достойно выдержали экзамен и отличия в работе в сети с их помощью по сравнению с протянутыми по квартире кабелями заметят только те, у кого высокие нагрузки на бытовую электросеть и на локальную сеть.

Скорость будет выше, чем у WiFi (кстати, здесь речь идет именно о быстроте передачи данных через мой роутер — с более продвинутой моделью эта разница может быть меньше), но ниже, чем через патчкорд. Зато по сравнению с последним налицо выигрыш в удобстве и быстроте монтажа такой системы и включению в сеть новых устройств.

Если постоянно сидеть с включенными электрическими приборами и иметь широко разветвленную локалку с устройствами, типа раздающего постоянно файлы медиа-сервера и работающими ip камерами наблюдения, то лучше сделать все традиционным способом через витые пары. Для того, чтобы просто с разных компьютеров посидеть в интернете и посмотреть видео — powerline подойдет в самый раз.
