Hello,
I am here to ask for your help.
I was wired at the end of December with a theoretical speed of 500 Mbps and a real speed of 460 Mbps. We had to leave our box in the basement because it is impossible to run the fiber cable upstairs. We had to resort to powerline adapters.
We bought TP-LINK AV2000
In total, we have 4 TP-LINK powerline adapters and one from NETGEAR that supports a maximum of 500 Mbps over Fast Ethernet.
Otherwise, the TP-LINK ones handle Gigabit Ethernet well, just like my PC and the TP-LINK router do as well.
The installation in my house is 15 years old (since its construction), and we have the new green Engie meter.
Just a little info, the basement, where the powerline adapter connected to the box is, does not have a ground socket.
We use our powerline adapters in the basement to connect the box and one PC (two adapters).
On the first floor, to connect the router, one PC, and a TV (two adapters).
On the second floor, to connect one PC and a NAS (one adapter).
The only problem is that the powerline adapters are made for a speed of 2000 Mbps; even taking into account the losses, I should have at least 200 Mbps. Currently, we are struggling to get more than 100 Mbps with SpeedTest, and during transfers between a PC and my NAS, we also max out at 100 Mbps.
We also cannot use the Wi-Fi from the LiveBox 4, which is too weak after passing through the concrete slab of the basement and then the one on the second floor (we get down to 2.5 Mbps on the second floor).
Thank you for your help :)
If you have any questions, I am available.
WARNING: I will not run an RJ45 cable in my house to connect the devices!!

Change the cat5 cables (I think that's the case) for cat6 and test it just in case...
The question was raised in January 2018.
I hope that a little more than 5 years later, it has found a solution!
