Powerline

Hi, I am in a student house with three others, and we all use TP-Link powerline adapters. We had one powerline adapter connected to the router, and a powerline adapter in each of our rooms. I made the assumption that splitting one powerline adapter into four would limit bandwidth, so I tried...

Hi all, a few months ago I bought a WPA5717 Powerline Kit to reach a part of my house that could not be done with a reasonable amount of mesh routers. I initially plugged the main powerline into our router, but after our router crashed a few times and my download speed shrunk from 60+ mbps to...

Hello Guys, I recently bought a TP-Link AV1200 WPA7517 Powerline Kit: https://www.tp-link.com/en/home-networking/powerline/tl-wpa7517-kit/ to get a more stable internet connection in a room where the WiFi suddenly drops sometimes and is very annoying (apparently caused by the WiFi disrupters in...

hi guys trying to scramble my head at the minute...i have community fibre gigabit and i am using a powerline capable of 1gb with adjacent cat 6 cables either side....one of them is on an extension lead as my power outlet is too low to plug any ethernet into....i only get about 60-120 mbps....i...

I've been using these Edimax powerline adapters (HP-5101ES and HP-5102) to get an Ethernet connection to my PC as it's in a different room to my modem. They used to have the typical speed for my Internet, but recently have slowed substantially. The 5101ES is connected to the modem, and the 5102...

This isn't an issue with powerline reliability. I don't need to know that powerlines are less than ideal - I know, I wouldn't use them if I had another choice. So, my powerline adapters work perfectly, I have 0 complaints with them generally. My network consists of 4 nodes. One for the router...

Hello! Very confused with all this and I'm desperately trying to figure out what should connect to what and which way around etc. Each Powerline adapter has 2 ports on it. So one to a node, another to a switch? Or one to the node and one from the node to the switch? Or one to the switch and one...

Hey. I recently bought the TP-Link AV1000 powerline adapter for my computer, but after I set it up, the download speed's very slow. It ranges from 8 Mbps to 16 Mbps. https://www.speedtest.net/result/12845398519 I've tried everything including reinstalling my LAN drivers, running the Windows...

Hi guys, i was looking for any similar trouble but i haven't found any. I am paying for 500Mbps, my Modem (https://www.vodafone.cz/pece/internet-data/datova-zarizeni/compal-ch7465lg/) is capable of 1GBps. From that modem I've got cat5e (newly bought) running to Powerline device (...

I have a long house (a farm) and another building next to it. From one part of the house to the other, i have a network cable under the ground that goes to the other end. When I connect Devolo´s Dlan1200+ everywhere, then the further I go from the modem, the worse the connection is. In the...

I've had the same powerline adapter for around 6+ years now and always fairly slow download speeds is it worth upgrading to a newer model? my current model is the TL PA411 which is up to 500mb/s and from just browsing i see they are significantly "faster" than this now. From looking around i...

Hi, I have 5 TP-Link Powerline adapters which have been working fine for about 4 years. Today, all at the same time they all disconnected, and I could not pair any of them up with each other again. I reset some, I put them in a double socket so they were right next to each other, I used the...

I've had a TP-LINK (Model: TL-PA2010) for a long time connected to my xbox one. It always worked fine, until some months ago when it started randomly disconnecting always at the same time (from about 9:00pm to about midnight, italian time, always at a random time between these hours once a day)...

I bought PoE instead of Powerline adapter by mistake. I was wondering can i use PoE as a Powerline adapter. I was gonna return it. If there is still a chance to use PoE to connect my pc and modem over electrical outlet it would be great.

Hello, I am looking for some advice on my home network setup. Myself and my wife are working from home now, and she has been having some issues with the strength of the wireless on our top floor. Our house is skinny but 4 floors tall including the basement. I also just changeed our internet...

Which would you recommend powerline or mesh (I’ve got a 1957 typical ranch style home). And which product would you recommend?

Hello, For the past 2 years, I've been using a powerline solution. The devices I used were 2 TP-LINK AV500 adaptors, with 500Mbps link speed. One was plugged via Ethernet cable to the router, and the other one plugged also via Ethernet cable to my laptop upstairs. Everything was working just...

I am attempting to increase the speed of my wifi network. It does function but oh, so slowly. My home has 3 floors. All new wiring during a remodel 15 years ago, one circuit. Top Floor: Ethernet wired desktop: 100 Mbps down and 10 up Asus laptop R500V (2012) connected by wifi: 40 - 45 Mbit/s...

Hi all I'm looking to buy an Oculus Quest 2 and I'd like to use it over wifi instead of the link cable. I have a standard router from Sky broadband in the UK. I think that does 100mbps via ethernet. Got 2 problems.. I think my router isn't fast enough in general and I connect to my PC via...

Okay so I have a 300 mbps internet plan. Two questions. I'm using a powerline adapter, for one computer upstairs, and one in the basement, while the modem is in the middle floor, but it only gets to around 30 to 40 mbps. Do I need a new powerline adapter? My dad's phone, the Samsung S9 can get...

Hi, I just got my new internet form telekom. Its supposedly a 2Gb connection over optical cable and the router i got can transmit it over 2 ports 1000/1000. Since the living room is quit tricky to run wires from the router i got myself a powerline adapter ( zyxel pla5456) that should handle the...

Recently I bought a D-link DHP-W611AV powerline adapter that seemed to work perfectly (reaching 50Mbps, which is the speed of my connection, with ~5ms ping to the modem) when I first set it up. However, after around 10 minutes it slowed down dramatically, with ping of around 50-200 ms and...

I bought a D-Link Powerline kit so I can enjoy fast and secure wired surfing. The router is in another tenants room, so this was the best option. I cannot get the setup working. In windows troubleshooting I get the error "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration" I have reset my laptop to...

Hi all, Recently purchased a Netgear Powerline 1000 adaptor, and it causes the router to disconnect from the Internet in specific situations (troubleshooting gives me the error "default gateway unavailable"). So far, it only happens when I try to do a multi-threaded downloads; e.g. a...

As of writing this, I currently have a somewhat limited experience with my PC due to horrible ping. It becomes really noticeable in CSGO, my main game of choice when I play. When other people are on the network, I get ~110-200 ping with spikes up to 500+ ping, depending on the specific moment of...

After I shut down or sleep my pc, it doesn't start again until I turn off the PSU and let it stay like that for a while. This never happened before and I did not upgrade anything. Temps are perfect. i5-7600 RTX 2060 H270 Plus Mobo 16Gb Ram 650W PSU CoolerMaster Gold This only started...

Hi, I live in a house with three floors and because there was no space to fit another cable for internet through the walls, the PC in my office (2nd floor) is connected to the modem (ground floor) via PLC. This has been working mostly fine for years now, but last week there were three days where...

Hi all First I'll describe the current situation. I live in an old house so there are no ethernet cables in the walls. Therefore we needed to use powerlines. Our telecom distributor (telenet) provided us with some powerlines (Topcom 200 85 mbps) many years ago because the modem is in the...

I have a computer at my basement that I usually use for backing up photos . The normal thing to do is to use an ethernet cable to connected to the rest of the network . The problem is that there is no ethernet port down there . So I thought that a power line could solve my problem but there are...

I've recently purchased a https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AV1000-Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B06WP2ZT5N/ I pay for 100mbps down and 10mbps up When I first plugged it in and connected it I got 50mbps down and 10mbps up (idk if it was luck or what) Now when I do a speed test I get around 10mbps...

I have Xfinity as my internet and TV provider and we have a pretty beefy plan for the internet but with both my parents streaming all the time and me and my friends downstairs are all downloading and playing online games, I thought to buy Xfinity's new xFi pod wifi mesh range extenders for the...

Hello, I am at uni whereby they put restrictions on devices that are allowed on the network (i.e. no chrome casts). I was thinking about buying a Powerline adapter, and then buying a router and connecting the two. Would it then be possible to make my own private network using the router that is...

So I have two powerline adapters one connected to the router and the other connected to an AP. My internet speed is 45mbps. Everything worked fine and I used to get >40mbps from the PLC. Untill one day without any reason speeds went under 10mbps (most of the time under 5). No changes were made...

Yea, I've heard that using other devices may cause signal interference. Is there a way to avoid this problem? Every time I plug in my notebook charger and start charging, the signal stops and there is no wifi whatsoever. My source adapter is on the 1st floor, plugged into a wall socket with...

Hi, my TP-LINK AV600 WiFi doesn't work anymore. It shows up in settings, but when I connect to it, it doesn't give any network. I tried moving the one that's connected to the router around, but it didn't help. The ethernet doesn't work either.

hello! Is it possible to connect one powerline to the end of the modem/router and the other pair on a router so i can (from the second router) connect wireless devices into the network and to the Internet?

Hey everyone, so i have been using a netgear powerline 1000 for about a year now and about 2 or 3 days ago the light switched to red. The connection oscolates between being super slow to not being connected at all. Im not sure why it would suddenly go out like this, no new electronics are...

Hi, I have got a MikroTik Radio router antenna on the roof for my internet P2P connection and it's also my router for home devices which are connected to it via an 8 port Gigabit TP-link switch. So i need something to connect it to my switch and broadcast AC Wifi for mobile phone and laptop...

I recently have had an 85 mbps powerline adapter, and i was getting speeds of 300kbps whilst downloads, i now have bought a 1000mbps netgear PL1000 powerlines and yet i still get 700KBp which is awful, the powerlines are not plugged into am extension cable however there is a plug next to it that...

Hello, I need some help in making a choice between investing in a router and reciver or powerline. I know ethernet is the best but there is just no way to get ethernet to my room from my router/modem which is located on the other end of my apartment. So I was thinking which would be better...
