Homeplug mixing

[Dirk Bruere at NeoPax]

Can two different types of Homeplug devices be mixed ie will a couple
of 85Mb Turbos conflict with a couple of 200Mb AVs? I want to use the
high speed one for normal Net style activities, and use the lower
speed one to pass around miscellaneous low speed serial data, not TCP/
IP or UDP.

"HomePlug AV (200mbs) can coexist but will not inter-operate with the
HP 1.0 and 1.0 Turbo standards. This means you can have one set of HP
1.0 units and 1 set of AV units but they can't see each others kit.
The manufacturers claim there is no drop in performance when mixing
these but tests (on Tom's Hardware and SmallNetBuilder) indicate that
performance can drop as much as 58%."
