 So we're here today at Hardware Sugar and we're going to start a brand new series called Teculiar. So if you feature namin yung mga weird and cool and peculiar, that's why the name, na gadgets or components and for the very first episode, we're going to take a look at yung TP-links Powerline Starter Kit. So, here we go. Ang video na to ay handog ng CDKoffers.com.

Pero kung yung Wi-Fi sinasend niya yung data through the air or yung Wi-Fi signal, itong Powerline sinasend niya yung data dun sa wiring ng bahay mo, yung electrical wiring. So, medyo amazing siya. Pero na nag-research ako, medyo matagal na pala itong technology na ito. And yung concept niya, ginamit na rin dati. So, from yung dati na ginagamit natin internet connection na yung DSL or yung digital subscriber line, ginagamit niya yung telephone lines to transmit data. Ito, ginagamit niya yung, yung power line. So, a-unbox natin itong kit na ito. It comes with two adapters para makita natin kung pa paan siya nag-function. So yun, it comes with, yung quick installation guide and then it comes with two power line adapters. Actually, it also came with yung LAN cables. Pero, hindi ko na nasa, hindi ko na nag-gamit kasi fake to na unboxing kasi na-unbox na namin to dati. Pero, gusto na namin pa kita siya yung laman itong package na ito. So, dalawa siyang ganito. So, dalawa siyang kasama dun sa kit and how it works is itong first, lalagay mo to dun sa outlet, isasaksak mo siya do sa outlet na malapit dun sa router mo. Tapos, mayroon siyang, para-osili, mayroon siyang LAN connection, ikon connect mo to dun sa LAN port ng router mo. That's how it would get yung data from yung ISP mo. Itong isa, lalagay mo siya sa outlet na malapit naman dun sa PC mo. Tapos, ko-connect mo rin siya via LAN cable. Kahit ano, pwede mong gamitin sa kait saan. So, ito, pwede dito sa PC or ito, pwede dito sa router. Like, parang walang special sa kanya based dun sa kung sasaksak mo ba siya sa router or sa PC. Like, lahat sila pare-pareho. So, ang gagawin niya, yun lang, actually, ko-connect mo lang talaga siya and then it just magically works. Ang lalabas dun sa PC mo, iisipin niya na, oh okay, so, may LAN connection ako and yun na yung parang pinaka internet connectivity mo. So, how does the technology work? Well, each of these units, mayaryong siyang circuit 3 na nag-convert ng 802.3 na protocol yung ginagamit nung router mo to yung tinatawag na home plug AV protocol. So, that enables it to transmit yung data through yung AC na wiring do sa bahay natin. So, it does it by taking advantage of the fact na yung AC current consistent siya na 50 to 60 hertz lang. Ito, isasabayin yung data through yung AC na yun. Pero gagawin niyang 2 to 86 megahertz yung kanyang frequency. So, ito, actually pareho lang naman sila. Ito, pag nakadetek siya nung gano na mas mataas, kasi yun nga di ba, yung AC tinatanggap din ito, parang meron din siya na 80 to 60 hertz. Pag may nakita siyang 2 megahertz o pataas, madidistinguish siya na, okay, data yun, tapos papadalan niya yung data dun sa receiver, which is, pwede yung PC mo, pwede yung laptop o pwede yung iba pang gadgets. So, that's how it works. Okay, so, bakit mo naman to bibilin, no? Meron naman Wi-Fi, meron naman LAN cables? Well, binili ko to kasi, recently, nasira yung Wi-Fi dongle ko na. And, I've had many experiences with Wi-Fi dongles. Bumilin ako nung high-end, bumili ako nung low-end, bumili ako nung mid-end, yung recent ko yung tender, parang nasa 1,000 pesos din yun. So, for a Wi-Fi dongle, medyong, medyong mahal siya. Ganun pa rin, nasira pa rin. So, ayder, bura-ra ako so, pag-amit nung Wi-Fi dongle, or talagang hindi sila reliable. So, nag-experiment ako, tinig nang ko kung ano po ba'y ibang solutions. Kasi, most definitely, hindi ko pwede yung gamin yung pinahamagan ng solution, which is to, mag-wawar na lang ako ng LAN cable from my router to the, um, to my PC. Hindi pwede yun, kasi sa apartment ko, walang room para, pagalop, daanin pa yung mga cables kung saan-saan. So, ayder, stuck ako with Wi-Fi dongle, or, butin na lang, nakita kung atong power line technology na ito. Okay, so we're going to test it now, and, very easy lang naman yung setup. Yung ay, saksak mo lang yung sa outlet na malapit sa router, and yung another, malapit naman sa PC mo, and it should work. Ngayon, may makakontin caveats lang. Um, for example, hindi mo sila pwede yung isaksaks sa extension o sa power strip. Kailangan direct sila na na sa outlet. Tapos, meron ding mga types ng circuit breakers na hindi ito pwede. Especialy yung bawaw, malaking-malaking yung bahay nyo, and hindi sila nag-share ng circuit breakers, let's say, yung room mo, tapos yung router mo na subabaan ng bahay, and, yun, hindi sila mag-work. Okay, so another thing, hindi sila pwede yung mag-share ng outlet sa isang appliance o sa isang source na nag-generate ng noise. So, nambaw ay yung mga ref, o yung let's say, may mga flores and lights, hindi siya pwede dun. Well, pwede naman, pero mag-introduce yung nang interference and magsasafa siyempre yung fidelity nung yung connection. So, that's one of the things na parang iko consider mo, parang wifi din. Yung wifi hindi siya pwede na napakastick nung walls more, napakalayo. Ito, yun yung mga caveats nya. Okay, so, yung review naman how was the experience? Well, I would say na yung experience was really the best. Like, literal siya na plug and play. Wala kang gagawin setup, wala kang software na gagamitin, paplug in mo lang siya, make sure na maganda yung pakaplug mo nung mga cables and make sure na siyempre nandong nga siya sa matin nung outlet and everything just works. Ngayon, it would have been enough kung mammatch niya yung nakakawa ko connectivity, no naka wifi dangle pa ako, kasi yun lang naman talagay expectations ko ay. But, however, na exceed niya yung expectations ko. From from 20 mbps, naging 43 mbps yung speed ko and hindi ko alam and hindi pala ako aware na how much hampered yung performance nung aking router dahil o sa wifi dongels. And yun nga dahil essentially, nagtatravel pa rin siya sa by cables and hindi na by wifi, mas talagang mas performant siya, kaysa sa wifi talaga. Ngayon, hindi ko naman siya mga this is the best. Syempre, yung LAN cable na direct pa rin na method, yung syempre, yung pinakamaganda pa rin. Pero, this is a very good alternative if na gahanap kang solutions other than wifi. Yabang power line kits, minsan apat na yung nasa package, yung iba, meron ding wifi hotspot. So, as in, napakaganda nung technology na ito. Yung last na caveat, so, kung yung mga wifi dongels, nag-arrange siya from 600 pesos to, let's say, mga 2,000. Siguro mga 1,000 may yung maganda na yun. Itong power line na ito, na starter kit, it sells for mga 2,800 pesos. So, medyo ma taas yung barrier to entry para ma-adap itong technology na ito. Pero for me, it was so worth it. It would have been worth it kung, basta nag-work lang siya and mas stable yung connection ko. Pero, mas talagang sulit, kasi nga, domoblipa yung speed kung internet ko. Now, we're not gonna say naman guaranteed yun na doble yung speed mo pag ito yung ginamit mo. But what I would say is, for my use case, siya yung mas reliable and mas gumanda yung performance nang sakin. You just have to remember yung caveats na sinabi ko and kung susundin mo yung instructions and susundin mo yung mga limitations na yun, then you're good to go. It's really, like, it's way better talagadan yung mga traditional na wifi dongels, especially also kung gumagamit kano mga stock na routers.
