I recently purchased a powerline adapter (TPLINK Av2000) and received it today. While setting it up, I started using it on a Minecraft server. It generally works fine, but I’ve noticed occasional lag spikes reaching up to 2000ms and they tend to last about 20 seconds. Additionally, there are times when the connection drops unexpectedly. Could you help me troubleshoot this? Thank you in advance!

The dependability of Powerline hinges on the condition of your home’s electrical connections. Poor wiring means poor performance from Powerline.

Thanks for the response. My home was constructed in the 1970s, which aligns with your point. Would you consider purchasing a quality PCI-E Wi-Fi card instead, since I can still use the existing powerline adapter?

WiFi might not work well either. Routers require physical connections to servers.

Yes, that's essentially your sole alternative. I've used a TP-Link Archer T9E for years and it worked well. The T6E is similar in performance. If you're planning to run a server, consider converting an old desktop into a headless server that connects directly to the router.
