Question Tp link power line av 1000 low speed and lagging after power cut off

[nikost]

I have a powerline av 1000 in another apartment and suddenly after power cut off the speed is really low(20mbps) when it was 100 and its not only that but it wont load a single video from youtube
I tried to move the powerline back to the original apartment and it says 100mbps speed and works but when I move it to the other apartment it doesnt work at all,very low speed on all devices and nothing works
The apartments share the Same electrical unit and when I move the extender to another socket the speed changes for example 12mbps,20,46,56 etc but I still have the same problem
any possible fixes/solution?

Try the reset button on the bottom of each extender. It worked for me, last time that happened to me.

I did that and now it works sometimes but most of the time it's still slow

Are you using TP link software to set up the extenders? I found that easiest.

Yes the mobile app

Unfortunately electronic equipment many times works fine until the next time they lose power. We always kept spare servers and other parts when we had to turn off the power to racks that had been powered on for months. Sometimes we got lucky and there were zero failures but when you turn off 500 servers something tends to go wrong.

When you say multiple apartments share the same electrical. Are there different power meters for each or do they share the same meter and breaker box.

Do you know if they are using powerline networks in the other apartment. Even though different encryption keys will prevent them from communicating they will still interfere with each other because they use the same frequencies. Kinda like how your neighbors wifi can degrade yours if you use the same channels.

Not sure what to recommend. Powerline units are pretty much black boxes. There is not much you can configure other than things like encryption keys. The actual communications between the units is a lot of time handled by special chips and the end users has no access to change anything.

In the US, most power panels are supplied 120V power on two separate branch feeds to a power panel’s circuit breakers. Moving a PLA doesn’t guarantee that the receptacle you plug into is on the same branch feeds as the one sourced from your router. If it’s on the other feed in the panel, there will likely be a reduction in speed and sometimes none at all. Being on the same meter is not a guarantee. In the example below, if your router adapter is on a red branch feed and your other adapter is on a gray feed, your connection between the two may or may not work. Best if they are on the same branch.
