Hello, it's been a few weeks since my Netgear powerline adapters I bought in December 2018 have been acting up. Everything is showing green, but I'm only getting 25/30 Mbps, whereas I normally get over 50/60. The ping is also very unstable. It's not my box, as my brother, who is on 5GHz WiFi, has a constant 55. I have a Cat 8 cable (https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07G8XVSTX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Here are the powerline adapters in question (https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B075F9P5V7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I have a Freebox Revolution; I tried calling them, but they see that the powerline adapters are not synchronized with the box, and I don't know how to synchronize them. I pressed the buttons on both the adapters and the Freeplug for 3 seconds, but nothing happened.
So I'm asking for help because it's impossible to go online with constant cuts and a connection that is all over the place, or maybe I should buy a WiFi key that supports 5GHz very well. If you could recommend some good ones regardless of the price (within reason though ;p), thank you for all this reading and your future help.

Hello
Powerline adapters are quite sensitive to all sorts of electromagnetic disturbances. A poorly insulated device, or one that has electrical issues, can disrupt your powerline network; a device that generates too much electromagnetic interference (waves) and is too close to the cables or powerline modules can cause problems.
In short, it's not easy to find the source; you have to unplug each device of all kinds and test them, starting with the most recently "added" ones, since the disturbance mainly affects those near the modules, and definitely no power strips.
Best regards

I experienced a cpl disturbance even though the interferer was several meters away but on the same segment (electrical wires). I said it's not simple.
Hi,
if you have a fiber connection to your box, try running a direct ethernet cable to it, it will be better than the powerline adapters which really become a drag with a fiber connection, especially if you can't pair them with the freeplug on the box side, because then it creates 2 powerline networks on the same electrical installation and they will interfere with each other's frequencies and cause mutual disruption.
The 802.11ac wifi is indeed a better solution if you have the appropriate equipment.

and ... There you go!
