[SOLVED] Powerline gives only around 40mbps

[WrongRookie]

Ok so I got the powerline adapter called AV1000 TP Link. The reason I need a powerline is because getting LAN from where I work is impossible and well I would atleast like to get around 80-100 Mbps for my needs.

When I used a second Router as a repeater, I just managed to get 60 Mbps at 5 Ghz. Now with it acting as an access point as I have connected it to the powerline, it gives only around 40 Mbps( 🙁 )
The main router is two rooms from my workroom.

The Powerline is

TP Link AV2 (TL-WPA7517KIT)

AV1000 Gigabit Powerline ac Wi-Fi Kit

The TL-WPA7517 KIT AV1000 Powerline WiFi Kit extends both wired and WiFi network throughout your home via your home's existing electrical wiring, eliminating WiFi dead zones and buffering.

The second router I am using is Asus RT-AC53

RT-AC53｜WiFi Routers｜ASUS Global

ASUS has a range of wireless routers suitable for every purpose. Whether it's for your home, for business trips, or for any other need or environment, there's an ASUS router for you.

my current ISP only provides like 225 Mbps so again, I just would need either 80-100 Mbps and that is enough for me. I am aware that this powerline depends on the electrical circuit(not sure what that means...) but I am now trying it rather than doing a refund because of it being my only option.

Any help is appreciatted.

Where are you testing that shows you this "40 Mbps " ?

Also, powerline is hugely reliant on the house wiring.

I just hooked it up in the plug point next to the UPS plug, where I use the PC and there it shows as 40 Mbps.

If I just test it without the powerline from the main router, it shows 150 Mbps.

Please give us a screencap of what is showing you this.

Not only is powerline highly dependent upon the house wiring it also doesn't work well if the signal has to pass through the breaker panel between nodes. And, the nodes must be plugged directly into the wall. No extension cords or power strips. This should be spelled out in the documentation that comes with the product.

Here it is. Sorry about the late response

Its worth nothing that I used cat6 cables for both the powerline and the extender. It sometimes comes at 60mbps from the best outlet I have picked and now at a later time, it drops to 40mbps.

Never mind...I solved it finally in the end as I made my router as a repeater and used the powerline as the extender. Still thanks for the help!
