Why is my Powerline kit slower than my Wifi?

[YannFTW]

Hello, I recently ordered a TP-Link Powerline kit and I have it all setup and I haven't pressed the clone feature on the Powerline adapters. I later did a test to see if they were working fine and did a Wifi test (just on my Router not the powerline) first and got 20mbps and then later did a test with the powerline with ethernet plugged in my computer and only got a 14-15mbps. I tried it again to make sure something didn't go wrong and they were again pretty much the same results.
Thanks,

powerline speed depends on the quality of your electrical wiring

but should a bit faster, at least 100mbit i think

do you connect them directly to the wall or a extension first?

in that same section of your house do you have any machine that uses lots of watts to work or has a electric motor in it, those can create interference

There's also different standards for powerline kits. For instance the TP Link AV200 are 300Mbps max, while the AV1000 are 1000Mbps max. Which kit did you buy?

I connected them directly into a wall socket and yes, we have about three organs in the house that is connected by a big leslie organ speaker. So this may be the problem?

I have the AV600 Powerline Wifi Kit.

Here's an article that may help you improve the powerline speed. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/basics/lanwan-basics/31238-slow-homeplug-five-ways-to-boost-powerline-network-speed

the organs doesn't have big electric motors like a enormus compressor or a similar, washing machines are know to gie problems with noise on some houses, you can see the washing machine is on on some tvs! same for the blender

i don't think that is the problem, sounds like problems with the wiring itself, can you do a test on another part of the house, using a different ciruit, just to test transfer speeds between two machines
