    Hi all,

    UPC just upgraded my broadband to 120MB, I have my desktop PC upstairs getting about 60MB over WIFI, would there be any speed benefit picking up one of these plugs?

    If it's your house, run a cable, if not, use the home plug, or upgrade your wifi to dual band ac.

    What type of home plug would you advise ? Im on UPC 200mb package changed the router channel to 6 and that seemed to make the wifi better but upstairs its still crap.. what type of speed could I expect from a home plug ?

    Here's a decent comparison bid of WiFi vs Ethernet vs plug and what can be expected, not 100% relevant, but I'll give you an idea of the diffrencres

    You have absolutely no guarantee of beating 60Mbit with homeplugs. Running a cable is the way to go.
