Hello everyone.
I just acquired 2 TP-Link AV600 powerline adapters and installed them.
I am connected to fiber, and a test on a PC shows 300 Mbps download and 120 Mbps upload, this is with a direct connection using an RJ45 cable to the Livebox.
If I run the test by connecting the same PC to the powerline adapter, I get about 50 Mbps download and curiously a bit more upload, around 60 Mbps.
The discrepancies are quite significant, and yet powerline adapters are supposed to provide 600 Mbps. Of course, using the electrical wiring of the house has an impact, which I assumed, but not to such a degree.
Is there any way to improve speeds via the powerline?
Thank you for any information.
Have a nice day.
Didier.

Hello,
You're right, it depends on your electrical network. You can manage and update your powerline adapters with the TP-Link software available HERE. You can also check if a firmware update for your powerline adapters is available on the TP-Link support site see this page. In any case, powerline adapters rarely achieve the speeds they advertise, as optimal conditions are required for that.

Hi,
what you’re measuring is completely normal and proves once again that powerline adapters are incapable of replacing Ethernet wiring.
As your test shows, it works fine with ADSL in terms of Internet access, but with a fiber connection, they become the bottleneck.
So you just have to invest in some Cat5 cable and wall sockets.

Hello,
There is indeed a significant weakening, but this is probably not unusual with powerline adapters.
With 50 Mb/s, we still have a very good speed that is more than sufficient for television, for example.
If you want a better speed, you can consider a Wi-Fi repeater. Some of them come with an Ethernet port. Check out what is available from Netgear, for example.
