Speed limitations on powerline connections are common.
Hey everyone, I’ve got an issue with my TP Link AV1300mbps powerline. It performed great at 200mbps, but now it struggles to reach speeds beyond 220mbps even with a 500mbps connection. I’m hoping for a 500mbps Ethernet link to my room, but I’m worried about running it through the house. My mom probably wouldn’t approve of a cable going around the place. Do you have any ideas? Could I upgrade to a stronger powerline? The current one is rated for 1300mbps, but I’m not sure if that’s enough.
Powerline performance will mostly stay within the expected range. Do you have coax in your home? That could improve results with mobile devices.
If you still have unused coax in your home, MoCA works. Otherwise, use Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
If running Ethernet isn't an option, Wi-Fi might be your best alternative. You could consider setting up an access point and placing it near your room, connecting it to the router via Ethernet for better performance. Alternatively, exploring an outside cable to reach your room from the router could also work.
