Hello, Good evening
I received fiber yesterday, the 31st, and everything is going perfectly. However, on my desktop PC upstairs (connected via powerline), my speed is stuck at 100/100 with excellent ping, whereas I am supposed to have 300/300. I checked the powerline adapters and the Cat6 cable using my school laptop, with which I was able to reach nearly 300. On my desktop PC, the network card is limited to 100/100 in automatic mode, and when I force the switch to 1 Gbps, my connection drops, and I have to revert back. I took the opportunity to update my BIOS and network card just in case, but it didn't help ????♂️.
I think I will revert to an earlier version of my network card to see if it continues to drop.
My network card is an Intel i218-v, and it should normally support up to 1 Gbps.
I can't figure out the cause of this blockage, if you could help me fairly quickly, I would be very grateful please ????.
PS: This is my first time using this forum; I'm not exactly sure how it works, sorry.

Hello,
So, the CPL is not the best plan if you want speed... it can only weaken it, but with a speed of 100 Mega, you can survive without any problem..
You say everything and nothing; we don't even know your speed coming from your BOX... you measure it with "Nperf" connected via an Ethernet RJ45 cable directly from your PC to the back of your BOX... and you share the result by pasting the link here.
To engage in technical discussions, you need figures and references.
What is your BOX..?? Do you have a router or a switch in between..?? Brand and model..?
For the PC, brand and model..??
Your Intel i218-v is a 1 gigabit Ethernet network card, not Wi-Fi...
The speed "you are supposed to have" is not a correct term... it's only about having the capability, it doesn't mean you'll get 300 Mbps for example... If your correspondent is sending their file at 50 mega, you won't be able to receive it at more than 50 mega, even if your installation is capable of 300... imagine the bandwidth needed for a data center serving over 10,000 clients simultaneously at 1 gig each; it should be over 10,000 gigas... No, it shares by giving a little to each and starts over..

Hi,
don’t look any further, your question
shows once again that powerline adapters are the bane of fiber.
If you want the full speed of fiber, you need a direct Ethernet cable.
Or at least a mesh Wi-Fi network that has gigabit Ethernet ports on the access points, that will certainly be better than powerline adapters, more expensive, but more flexible, yet still not as good as a real direct cable, especially if you later move to 1 Gbps fiber

and ... There you go!

No, you must have been exactly in the same situation as our friend with the CPL 500 modems with 100 ports.
If you're talking about that,
they never mention gigabit, but rather fast ethernet, which is therefore 100 in ethernet language :-)

• One (1) 500 Mbps†
Powerline interface each
• Two (2) Fast Ethernet ports each
