Hello everyone!

So I'm with Bell and have an Internet plan of 60 Mbps Download and 10 Mbps Upload, In most rooms in my house the signal is perfect and I get the correct speeds when I test it, except for my brothers room and my room were we experience a low signal and get half of the speed or less.

So! I was thinking of getting a poweline adapter BUT I need one that delivers good performance and delivers the signal greatly to our room. My budget is $50 and their are a bunch on sale at Canada Computers such as Tp-Link, D-link and i've been researching on reviews and performance throughout YouTube and google, so if you guys know any I can buy online or in stores please comment down below as I look forward to buying one very soon.

- Thanks Amir :)

The main issue of powerline like wireless is they are extremely dependent on the house you test them in. You have to be very careful of any results you find where people did not test in a controlled environment.

This is one of the better lists but even they admit that you can not compare test results from older test to the newer ones even on their site.

In general you want to buy av2-1200 units if you can. They are slightly above your budet unless you get them on sale but there is a huge performance difference between the newer units and the older av500 and av200 units.
