Powerline slower speeds?
Hi,
i've been using my:
TP-Link TL-PA4010KIT Nano AV600 Powerline Adapter Starter Kit
For a few years and my pc has always been around 50-60 mpbs. Whenever i ran speed tests on my phone it was similar speeds so i thought nothing of it.
Today i upgraded my broadband to 1gig package. my phone is now getting 700mbps however my pc is still just at 60mbps. Is this a limitation to the device, if so what do i need to buy to get these speeds im paying for.

Hi,
First of all, there are no consumer-grade Powerline adapters on the market that could achieve 700 Mbps over a useful distance.
If you need such high transfer speeds, then you will have to look at other technologies.
The performance of Powerline adapters depends heavily on the environment they are used in and therefore it's not really possible to predict it in advance.
But by my own experiences, my best guess is that if you are getting 50-60 Mbps with the TL-PA4010KIT, then the ones with the highest advertised performance rating you can currently buy might give you around 150 Mbps when plugged in at the same locations as the TL-PA4010KIT.

Since there is no way to predict how the Powerline adapters will perform in the environment they are eventually going to be deployed in, the industry basically decided to give the mathematical performance numbers (in this case the "physical layer rate"), because only these numbers are indisputable.
There was a post from TP-Link some years ago in which they explained it in detail. (the red text are the answers from an engineer)
