I have two netgear powerline AV 500 ethernet adapters that give me near ideal internet access on my media computer (FIOS 25/25mpbs tests out at 8ms 25.4/24.7) and perhaps 100-140mbps to my router, printer, drive, etc. I now want to add a few wifi points and instead of having the mess of a powerline adapter + a wifi router I think it will be neater to have an all in one solution. Most of the ones that I find are 200mbps, however. I know that 500 is backwards compatible, but will a mixed solution slow everything down like it can for a mixed wireless g/n network?
That is, unless incompatibilities between different brands/PHYceivers arises. Besides, "blocking the circuit for x time" seems exactly how you would define throttling speed c: (albeit arguably AV2 MIMO magic would greatly sidestep the issue)

The MIMO adapters would be even faster than the 500 Mbps adapters but they would not send in parallel on L-PE while another adapter is sending on L-N (which I guess is what you mean why MIMO magic would help?). – Werner Henze – 2018-07-03T08:35:00.033
Why not? Of course, assuming AV1 adapters were not involved. – mirh – 2018-07-03T11:31:36.567
