New TL-WPA8631P kit has slower throughput than version 2
Hi Guys,
I recently had to replace my TL-WPA8631 kit under warranty as a recent firmware update caused connectivity issues. I received V4 of the same model. Nothing else has changed - I am using the same power outlets, same devices connected, basically exactly the same configuration.
The tpplc app indicates the Powerline rate between the 2 TPLink devices is around 280Mbps. I don't know what the rate was with the old devices.
My internet speed is around 55Mbps.
The problem I have is that with the V4 devices when I run an internet speed test with speedtest.net the result is between 30 and 36Mbps. If I run a speed test connected directly to the modem I get that 55Mbps. My OLD V2 devices gave me the same speed test result as I get when connected directly to my modem (around that 55Mbps mark). This is the case with both Ethernet and Wifi.
So to summerise, My old V2 devices gave me a faster connection than the new V4's. Can anyone please advise me on what I can do to resolve this issue? I wonder if there might be a firmware update in the works that could resolve the issue?
Thanks!
Nick.
