Hello!

I have a 100Mbit/s cable connection and want to use it with Powerlan/Powerline.

I used to have TP-Link PA211 Starter kit Netzwerk Powerline (200Mb) which could deliver up to 55Mbit/s. It broke down and I had to get a new system.

I recently bought Netgear XAVB5201-100PES Powerline-Netzwerkadapter (500Mbps) and it only delivers 25-35Mbit/s through the same power socket.

1. What should I get to recieve the full 100Mbit/s?
2. Why is the Netgear one worse than the TP-Link using the same power socket?

I checked several german hardware magazine tests and they all resulted in 200/500Mbps powerline/powerlan only giving <=41Mbit/s. So any chance?
