Question Changed routers, now powerline adapter does not work.

[roccm8]

I use a powerline adapter in order to use my PC and I recently upgraded my speed via Spectrem. Due to this they sent me a new modem and router and after setting it up and activating them, the powerline adapter gets little to no speed. Before the change I would get around 90 mbs if I did and speed test and now I am getting 8. The internet itself is faster as I have tested it on my laptop. I have reset the powerline adapters multiple times, changed outlets, tried all available ethernet ports on the back of the router, all to no improvement. The adapter is a TP-Link AV2000 and the router is whatever the router is that Spectrum gives you, Model: SAX2V1S.

the outlets have to be on the same line in your house i believe to work properly so same pathway.

if you changed any 1 of the original plugs before to a diffrent outlet you might be on a diffrent wire or power line.

They were in the same outlet and the speed still went down drastically, I only tried changing outlets after that.

I would start with the basics. Does the ethernet port show gigabit on both ends? What insights does the TP-Link utility show ?

are you setting them to 2.4 or 5hz

The ports are gigabit on both ends and on TP-Link Utility it shoes that I am connected and the speed between the two devices is about 345 mbps, I am getting internet it is just that it is about 80-90% slower than it was before I upgraded the internet speed plan/modem and router. Nothing has changed other than that.

Powerline adapters should be ethernet connected at both ends....

Your router might be trying to be "smart". It might be limiting traffic that is trying to monopolize it so that "gaming traffic" can not be interrupted.
What is the exact model of the router ?

Just the basic Spectrum router, model is SAX2V1S

I definitely don't see positive posts about that router. I also don't see much technical info about configuration... Not a good sign.
I don't have that router, so I can't provide much more help since documentation is poor.

on the back of the modem itself there are 3 ports

10mbs
100mbs
1000mbs

im assuming number 3 is fastest.

info is quite scare on it apart from a manual.

alot of hate about it though.
