Nothing to really improve your latency other than changing it to a direct connection with a Ethernet cable.

I dont understand cause im still getting a decent connection http://www.speedtest.net/result/4739029029.png

Hi
Could be something on your electricity line interfering with the powerline adaptors such as a refrigerator or air con unit starting up.

And could be cause of i have 2 dlinks powerline adapters?

Two powerline setups shouldn't interfere with each other but it is possible that they are,only way to tell is to disconnect one pair and try the other.
If you have a noisy electrical supply it can be very difficult to identify what is causing the noise and rectifying the problem,it is one of the problems with using powerline and why direct ethernet wiring is so superior.

Sometimes other pair stops working cause of the netwjork pair. And is it possible to pair netwjork with dlinks?

It sounds like they may indeed be affecting each other.
Your first step should be to re-pair the adaptors.

Powerline adapters are not usually a good solution for gaming. Some people can get away with it, but most houses (at least here in the uk ) don't have good enough or new enough wiring to sustain a constant low latency connection. Plus by the time you put fridges and freezers on there... and anything else. They are ok for general browsing and copying files about the place.


Wireless is usually a better option with a good adapter, or switch to Ethernet cable ideally as already suggested.

I have some pretty good powerline adapters and I ended up just switching back to wireless for gaming. It was just unreliable.
And the wiring in my house isnt even all that bad.
