Hello,
I do not have the chance to connect my home computer directly to the modem. I had been using a wifi adapter for a long time, but when the speed loss in my new house increased over 40%, I looked for another solution. I heard the concept of powerline adapter for the first time and thought I could apply it as far as I understood from what I read and watched. I bought tp-link's tl-pa7017p model device and installed it. The internet at my home has a theoretical speed of 500mbit. However, when I do a speed test, I am currently getting 130mbit speed. I could already get speeds over 250mbit with the wifi adapter. Both adapters are connected directly to the electrical outlet. The power cables of my case and monitor are also plugged into the plug on the powerline adapter through a surge-protected socket. I know that normally it should not be connected to a surge protected socket, but right now I think this should not affect the connection speed because I first plugged the powerline adapter into the electrical outlet and the surge protected socket into the plug on the powerline.
I live in a newly built apartment. Therefore, I thought that there should not be a problem due to electrical installation. Other than that, is there any detail I missed?
