Benchmarking Speed Test between Aztech 600 Mbps AV2 Pass Through & Sineoji 600 Mbps AV2 Pass Through.
Carried out test to measure the speed test of the 2 above brands placing 1 pair of homeplugs point to point of the same wall socket within 4 metres and 13 metres respectively. To determine how well each pair of homeplugs is able to sustain the throughput if the distance are stretch further apart as we all knew that the longer it goes, electrical noise interference will be the factor that impact the performance of homeplug powerlines. However, having said that, each homeplug powerline design,architecture and firmware is unique, such that its ability to handle this noisy lines and sustaining the consistency in terms of the bandwidth through the powerlines.
Test 1 - 1 pair of Sineoji 600 Mbps Homeplugs placed 4 metres apart from Dining Hall to Living Hall. Cat 6 Ethernet cable at both ends.
Sineoji : Download Speed 249 Mbps, Upload Speed 226 Mbps
The pair of Sineoji Homeplugs was removed and replaced with a pair of Aztech 600 Mbps Homeplugs placed at the same socket, location and distance of 4 metres apart, Dining Hall to Living Hall. Cat 6 Ethernet cable at both ends.
Aztech : Download Speed 149 Mbps, Upload Speed 164 Mbps
Next, let's put the pair of homeplugs to stress by placing them 13 metres apart.
Test 2 - 1 pair of Sineoji 600 Mbps Homeplug placed 13 metres apart from the bedroom to the living hall. Cat 6 Ethernet cable at both ends.
Sineoji : Download Speed 185 Mbps, Upload Speed 170 Mbps
The Sineoji Homeplugs was removed and replaced with Aztech 600 Mbps Homeplugs at the same power socket, location and distance of 13 metres apart.
Aztech : Download Speed 85 Mbps, Upload 103 Mbps
Gauging from above results, homeplug performance varies from homes to homes. However, the consistency of maintaining the bandwidth throughput over a stretch of lines and distances, overcoming the noise factors does play an important role in the homeplug ability. The longer the distance, the greater the challenge is.
Coming up next will be NAS to PC throughput measurement via Homeplug Powerline with a pass through device connected.
