This adapter performs worse than Wi-Fi in speed.
I’m trying to fix a slow connection issue with my power line Ethernet adapter. The speed is only 2 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, which isn’t enough for smooth performance. I’ve tested it in all the sockets around my room, but the results are consistent. I’ve checked that it’s not connected to any splitters and used different cables, yet nothing changes much. I’m looking for tips on improving the signal quality so I can keep the adapter in my room without moving it.
Typically, powerline adapters offer less data capacity than Wi-Fi but provide lower delay. In my home, the powerline connection is limited to about 100 Mbps during tests, even with a 1 Gbps internet speed from the provider. This gives a rough sense of what you can expect. Numbers in the single digits usually point to another problem... has your house received any wiring improvements recently?
it turned out the port I connected it to was an older one in the house. so I used a 25-foot cable to reach the device across the room, and now the connection speed is around 70-100, which works well for me.
