Hello! Your router has upgraded its performance significantly—WiFi now runs at 170-190Mb/s compared to the previous 15-30Mb/s. The powerline speeds remain unchanged at 50-60Mb/s. There could be several reasons for this, such as firmware updates, network congestion, or hardware limitations. If you want better powerline performance, consider checking the router’s settings for speed adjustments or contacting the manufacturer for hardware recommendations. For your desktop setup, USB or internal Wi-Fi adapters are commonly suggested as alternatives. Let me know if you need more details!

These speeds are what we anticipated for power line use. They still offer some benefits compared to Wi-Fi, though Wi-Fi seems like the more suitable overall option. PCIe Wi-Fi cards are the best choice. I plan to get something compatible with the Intel AX200.

I don’t understand how to purchase one of<|pad|>, here are some details to consider. What features should you prioritize? The link you shared shows similar options, but they vary in price and design. Also, the Intel AX200 is available at a lower cost but appears quite different from the more expensive models.

I've tried several power line connectors but they've never worked well in my home. If you require a wired setup with coax running through your house, Moca Adapters are a solid choice. They deliver consistent gigabit performance to my downstairs coax outlet.

Coax is quite restricted in my home—I'm worried about it (just two outlets, one near the router and another downstairs but not close to my equipment). Still, it’s something I should consider when I decide to bring my setup nearer the outlets. It’s really helpful because I didn’t realize this was an option.

Using the ax200 chipset ensures compatibility. Adding external antennas may improve reception. They should share the same chipset and likely similar performance if you check this link: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FsNgXL/...ter-ax905c
