Theoretical max for powerline internet is usually 200mbps or 500mbps (according to the cnet article on the devices claiming to be 1200mbps ... they are pretty much BS and will not even come within miles of that). I've personally never seen anyone hit those full speeds on their setup... but i won't say its not possible. I've also seen a bunch of these devices come with 10/100 ports meaning you cannot get past 94mbps anyways...

As for wireless, the 2.4ghz frequency on both N and AC tends to cap out between 300-450, but on the 5ghz band you can hit 700-1500mbps.

Sorry for the late reply but speed is not what matters it is latency.

 

I have 2 PS4s in the same room one hooked up directly to the router and the other through a power line adapter. My ping on the ethernet is 33 and my ping on the power line adapter is 40. I will test them via WiFi more later but I beleive it was in the 80s with WiFi last time I checked.

 

Power Line adapters offer a more stable and steady stream than WiFi. My only issue is about once a month they lose connection to each other for some reason and they need to be unplugged and replugged in (but that is probably because I bought cheap ones lol)
