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.

Could be due to the copper quality in your home.

Powerline performance will mostly stay within the expected range. Do you have coax in your home? That could improve results with mobile devices.

I realized what I came to think about. Are there any alternative options besides powerline? Is Ethernet still the only choice now?

It seems you're referring to wireless or Ethernet connectivity.

If you still have unused coax in your home, MoCA works. Otherwise, use Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

We could possibly run a coax from the modem up to the attic. Then I’ll connect an Ethernet cable into my room from there. Thanks—I’ll check MoCa.

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.

You're completely dependent on the power grid in your home. For the upstairs office, it functions better than trying to connect to the Wi-Fi below, but you're not reaching the speeds you experience on the first floor.
