Powerline Adapters interference with VDSL2

[Anonymous]

Just thought I would warn you all. Some of you may know this and some of you may not. Here goes depending on the model of Powerline Adapter you have like for example I have the TP-Link TL-PA7010p without MIMO and the TP-Link TL-PA8010p with MIMO. The adapters without MIMO works with VDSL2 but it still get interferes but the adapter without MIMO doesn’t affect the internet connection but sometimes I need reset the adapters. But with the adapters with MIMO it may takes down the whole internet connection. You see for you guys who not know this the Powerline adapters with AV1 may affect the router VDSL2 signal and AV2 Powerline Adapters work better with VDSL2 but you still get interference from them.

That’s because Powerline Adapters AV1 uses 2 to 30 MHz and AV2 uses 30 to 86 MHz meaning VDSL2 uses 17 MHz that basically means Powerline adapters and VDSL2 can interfere with each other. Your much better using AV2 but use AV2 without MIMO. If you do use MIMO Powerline Adapters make sure you switch to VDSL2 to PLC Mode.

Do you know that the pdf format has tons of advantages over word files? Well, you must know that pdf files are smaller in size than word files, they are more ...

@DJDANNY90000 I guess it's an issue that some of us just assume people will be aware of.  In most cases, if the phone cable runs straight outside and the power cables in the wall run the opposite direction it'll not be a problem.  Also, many HomeAV plugs that are pass-thru will filter the HomeAV signal on the socket you can plug things into, meaning that you really want to plug your modem+router into that socket.  I'm aware that on some of the MIMO HomeAV devices, they have a setting that specifically filters the problem frequencies - if needed!

*Many of the issues with HomeAV devices stem from the need to be a complete pedant when you set them up!

It all pretty much depends on your house electrical system and phone wires setup. Your one of the lucky ones. The older models like the av200 and av500 uses between 2 and 30 MHz and VDSL2 uses 17 MHz watch means they may interfere with each other the av1000 and av2000 will probably be ok. But the av1200 and av2000 with MIMO may interfere.

I don’t agree with you on like for example my house there a power socket is next the phone jack

If it wasn't for other members of the household getting annoyed at me taking the network down, I can switch my Asus AIMesh from using WiFi to using HomeAV - it's what I used to do.  I can then swap out the Vigor130 modem for a HG612v3b modem and use DSLstats.

As you've said, every home is different and using a passthrough HomeAV that filters it's signal may be beneficial if you are having issues.  Most of the issues that people have with HomeAV though is in setting them up - many need to be set up in a very specific order, get that wrong and it can mean that it's easier to reset the things and start from scratch.

*I use my old (presetup) TP-Link Tl-WAP7510 as an easy way to help set up other people's routers in their own homes - it's easier than running a long ethernet cable to my laptop

The filtered part of the Powerline Adapter is only mainly for electrical noise from a device like for example a power adapter or a power strip. It doesn’t stop VDSL2 signal and electrical noise from the fridges and freezers and anything with Motors. The main reason for the filtered part with power outlet on the Powerline adapter it’s so you can plug the noisy device in the Powerline Adapter.
