I need another one ideally for something else. Am I to keep adding these? Is there a saturation point?

I have fibre 38Mbps at moment, are these adapters fast enough as see there are now AV ones. Yes, you can have too many, but It's something of a "how long is a piece of string" question. There's no "simple" absolute number for "too many" - it depends on various factors. It's be a bit like asking how many people you can have in a room conversing before there are "too many. Conversely, flip to the pub on Friday night, and in very short order with fewer people all shouting at each other at the same time, it rapidly becomes a cacophony with multiple garbled transmissions, people talking over each other, lot's of retires, etc.

HomePlug technology uses an "only one thing at a time can transmit" paradigm, similar to Wi-Fi, so the more plugs you have, the slower their link rates speed, the greater the demand to transmit, the more "competition" there is for a transmit opportunity. Thus, how many is too many is an "it depends" question. No one can really say, you've just got to suck it and see. I got to 4 and decided that its better to just run category 5 cable around the house instead. Much better. Especially when transferring large amounts of data between devices.

Then I gave away the homeplugs. Outside of North America, there are country specific plugs for the Powerline products sold in those regions. Can I plug my powerline adapter into a power strip, surge protector, Uninterruptible Power upplies UPS or extension cord? These devices filter out some or all of the high frequency signals used in Powerline communications.

Connecting a Powerline to one of these devices can greatly reduce the data rate of transfers, or block communications entirely. Depending on your Powerline model, you can connect up to 64 nodes check the FAQ section for your model to make sure about exact number.

Can I use an extender and a powerline on a single router? Will it have conflicts with that kind of setup? Can I have multiple powerline networks on the same electrical wiring? Yes, using passcodes, it's possible to have multiple networks in the same building. However, the overall throughput is shared by the multiple networks. Yes, but you will either suffer a noticeable loss in performance, or if the signal is too low the units will not be able to communicate. Earlier versions based on HomePlug 1.

HomePlug 1. What gives? Fast Ethernet is full-duplex, so a port can transmit and receive simultaneously. Consequently, if a Fast-Ethernet port is performing at its maximum throughput e. Every appliance on your electrical line generates noise, or interference, for Powerline transmission. While distance as some effect on line noise, the number of appliances and age of electrical wiring will have greater impact. The longer the distance and the greater the line noise, the less square footage you will be able to cover with the Powerline.

Environmental factors, Operational overhead, differences between different transport standards UDP vs. TCP vs. WFT and the way each standard optimizes the data overhead typically for error handling.
