so i'm just wonder if anyone have got any experience with powerline,if so, would you recommend it over a wireless connection? i'm getting around 40/10 on a 100/12 connection and i'm thinking of trying out powerline but only if i'm certain that i would get a better speed, btw getting 115/12 with cable, but its no option for me.
Powerline vs Wireless

You never really know it depends a lot on the house and the path the wiring takes and other unknown factors.
Most the so called 500m units generally only get maybe 60-80m.
The key difference is powerline is very consistent. If you get 40m you will always get 40m. Wireless the signal changes because the dog walks though the room. This is why for people that want to play games powerline is better even if it is not as fast since quality is much more important than quantity for games. The total average throughput for wireless will likely be higher but this is a AVERAGE so if the application can tolerate short spikes in the latency then wireless is better.
