I’m looking at buying a Powerline Ethernet Adapter, but I want to double check that I’m buying the right one for my needs. I want to use it to connect my Apple TV 4K by Ethernet as I use this for all my 4K streaming. I don’t plan on connecting anything else so I only need 1 Ethernet port. I also need it to have passthrough so I don’t lose a plug socket. The bit I’m unsure about is the speeds and whether or not I need a gigabit Ethernet port? I have a virgin media hub 3, which I understand has 4 gigabit Ethernet ports, and I’m on the M350 package. Obviously I want it to deliver the maximum speed possible to my Apple TV 4K. I was looking at this on Amazon which has just gone down to £39.99:
TP-Link TL-PA7017P KIT 1-Port Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Starter Kit, Data transfer speed Up To 1000 Mbps
I guess my question is do I need a gigabit Ethernet port based on my setup and requirements? I’ve seen some cheaper powerline adapters that don’t have gigabit Ethernet ports. Would these still provide my Apple TV 4K with the maximum possible speed?
