Hi, I recently purchased a power line extender, specifically the TP-Link TL-PA8010P Kit. After connecting and setting it up properly, I can see a connection in the desired room via the electrical wiring. During an internet speed test, the results show 90Mbps download and 45Mbps upload—though in reality, actual speeds are much lower (average 2Mbps download, max 8Mbps upload). The networking section in Task Manager displays speeds close to what my main router reports. When I disconnect everything from the internet and use a wired connection via Ethernet to my PC, the speeds remain slow. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!
Yes, I understand the distinction—it's merely a significant reduction in speed.
I'll look into the drivers. However, I'm unable to connect my phone at the moment—the powerline hubs aren't supporting Wi-Fi—-
They function properly, yet they don't support wireless connectivity—only Ethernet.
You have the TP-Link TL-PA8010P in a historic farmhouse with good wiring. Power in the UK is strong, so appliances shouldn’t be the issue. The adapters plug straight into the wall, and the routers and receiver are on separate circuits. Despite this, you’re still experiencing slow connections.
Many older homes feature outdated wiring. Newer Powerline adapters claim improved interconnection between circuits, though their actual speeds may not match the advertised numbers. The performance can still be affected by the condition of the wiring. Estimated distance between adapters is up to 300 meters. This limit isn't because of higher voltage, but rather related to the setup. Your TL-PA8010P supports using neutral and ground lines for MIMO implementation.
