If you're testing on wifi it won't be 50 and you're at the higher end of wifi speed there. Through cat6 I get 60 down and 20 up.
Supposed to be 30 down. F*ck you Comcast.
Run it along the molding and around door molding or go under carpet.I need to find a way to hardwire my computer too. It's just too far away, don't really want to have an ethernet cable running throughout my apartment, and I want the X1 hardwired for sure.

Yeah I'll have to buy a 25-50 footer and see what I can rig up. Sick of my slow internet.Run it along the molding and around door molding or go under carpet.
$85/mth? Looks like you got one of the high end packs. I just switched from Rogers to Start. Was thinking of TekSavvy, but heard it's hit and miss performance though cheap for 300gb. I did Start's unlimited internet for $50 for one of their lower end choices.

That's pretty cool. Will definitely look into it.It is simple plug & play. Put one( they usually come in pairs) powerline Unit in a power socket near your modem( or router if you want/need it here) and connect it via ethernet. Then put the second unit near where it is needed. Depending on your needs, you can then hook up a router to it for multiple devices, or straight to a singular device. Done, you now have a hard wired connection with out a big messy wire running through your home. You can can then add other units to other rooms if you need too.
Basically they just use your home electrical wiring as an ethernet cable. All you do is create an input and output.

You should. I used to have a 30foot cable running up stairs( horrible) and then gave these a shot and never looked back. As you can tell from my speed test earlier in the thread, my speed is spot on.
