Reddit mentions of ZyXEL Pass-Thru Ethernet Adapter AV2000 Powerline 2-port Gigabit 2-Pack [PLA5456KIT]

Get an Ethernet over power line adapter and use any sip phone you'd like. I'm a fan of Polycom, Yealink, and the old Aastra model Mitel phones 6857i phones.

This is my favorite powerline model: Zyxel Pass-Thru Ethernet Adapter... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0173CGWFY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Some of the others have been less than reliable, but those have been rock solid for years now.

1 AC pro would probably be better for wireless devices. For the wired any reason you can't just use homeplug? They are very reliable from what I've used and wont congest your wireless.

They test a bunch there and recommend they Zyxel kit. The new version has 2 ports and a faster spec.

Try these (link below), easy setup, scaleable for future expansion to other rooms, and works great!!

I'm using a DS3 controller along with this Bluetooth adapter.

The adapter has a switch to choose between one of two modes.

In Xinput mode, the adapter supports a single DS3 controller and works out-of-the-box (w/o VirtualHere). I've never run into any problems in this mode.

In Direct Input mode, the adapter supports up to 4 controllers, but requires VirtualHere. Although I also haven't run into any problems in this mode either, I haven't tested it very much.

One thing you may want to add is some info regarding Ethernet-over-powerline which can be a great alternative to Wi-Fi (when hardwired Ethernet isn't an option). The current standard is called HomePlug AV2 MIMO with a claimed theoretical speed of 2000Mbps - this is what to look for if you're buying a new adapter.

There are two AV2 MIMO chipset manufacturers (that I'm aware of), Broadcom and Qualcomm. Broadcom-based AV2 adapters tend to outperform Qualcomm (according to this review), but the adapter manufacturers don't usually tell you which chipset they use. These two adapters are Broadcom-based. The first has a built-in AC filter so you can plug additional stuff into it w/o affecting the speed, the second is cheaper but has no filter (but a 10 foot extension cord makes a pretty effective filter).

Finally, in my own experience, I've found AMD hardware encoding to be much more susceptible to dropped packets and jitter versus software encoding. If your network circumstances aren't ideal and you're getting dropped frames, try software encoding.

I hear that all the time, but I have had no issue at all with mine. I've been running these Zyxel adapters for a year+ now.

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything...

It's true that the condition of your home electrical system is an important factor, but you shouldn't have a problem with the age of your system if it's from the 80's. My house was built in the late 60's. The electrical system has not been updated, but the powerline adapters I picked up recently work very well with my Steam Link.

I have the host computer wired to the network router (which has the modem connection), and the router goes out to the Steam Link through the powerline. The Steam Link is on a different circuit, opposite side of the house. I have the streaming performance set at Beautiful, and it works almost flawlessly, with only an occasional split-second hiccup every few minutes. With minimal video lag from my plasma screen (LED TVs with low input lag should work just as well), I am even able to play some rhythm games such as Crypt of the Necrodancer (not ideal conditions, but I felt it was very playable with low in-game calibration settings).

Using powerline was significantly better than relying on my Wi-Fi; even with the host wired, I could only move one room away before the Wi-Fi stream became unreliable on medium settings (it was the 5 GHz band doing the heavy lifting when the Steam Link was close enough to the router).

Available powerline adapters appear to have a wide range of performance and the realistic throughput is a lot lower than advertised, so I recommend you do some research and try to grab the newest and highest throughput adapters you can afford. Powerline technology is rapidly evolving, and models from the past year appear to review significantly better than older ones. If you want a recommendation, I picked up the Zyxel AV2000 Starter Kit from Amazon, whom easily accept returns if the adapters don't work out for you (just be aware of third-party sellers and frequent price fluctuations on this model).

Tl;dr Your electrical system is new enough to likely not be a concern. In my experience, if Wi-Fi doesn't cut it, powerline is an excellent solution for the Steam Link. There are a lot of crappy adapters though, so do research.

I ordered These back in April. I was having this weird problem where when I turned my laptop on it would make the wifi randomly drop. Sometimes it would come right back on in 30 seconds, other times it would be on and off for 20+ minutes. Once these arrived and set up, everything was fixed. Not sure why it kept happening. I had a few different Version FiOS guys come and check it out. They kept thinking it was the all-in-one internet thingy (no idea what's its called lol).

I can say that these helped me solve my problem and going to order another pair soon once my father in-law finishes the addition on our house.

+1 to powerline adapters. I have this model, and get speeds comparable as if I was plugged directly into my router. It's a hell of a lot easier using PLA's than to buy a wifi card / dongle for your tower and hoping you'll get good enough signal for everything.

Do you really need a wireless bridge? You could get a pair of these and "wire" the PS4 onto the network. Or you could plug your router into it and have a wireless AP near your PS4 for other stuff, allowing the PS4 to still be "wired". In both scenarios the PS4 would be "wired" anyway, but the powerline looks more effective in your situation.

Like I say, it was 10+ years ago, so model numbers would be defunct by now. But I was very happy with Zyxel's quality, price, performance. This appears to be the most up-to-date model right now.

You plug one ("A") in to an AC outlet near your router and connect it to one of the router's LAN ports with an ethernet cable. You plug the other ("B") into an AC outlet near where your desired gadget is and connect it with an ethernet cable as well. Bingo. That's all there is to it. You can use an inexpensive switch at the "B" end to attach more than one device. I had... let's see... an XBOX, a SlingBox, a TiVo, and a PC all running off of one "B" device.

I remember there was configuration software of some sort, but it was only necessary if you wanted to change options. The whole setup took me maybe 5 minutes, and most of that was moving furniture to get to the outlets.

Power strip adapters are a no-no because they interfere with the signal. But plugging the unit into a standard extension cord won't hurt anything as long as that extension cord runs straight to the wall socket.

I located one receiving unit behind a bookcase that stood in its same spot for years on end without my ever touching it. Seriously, these things are some of the simplest, most reliable tech I've ever purchased.
