Hi,

I recently treated myself to a set of the PA211KIT Powerline adapters. The performance is terrible though!

I have my media centre connected to one adapter with my router connected to the other one. Whilst streaming media, it often cuts off completely. I tried running a ping for 20 minutes from my media centre to the router and there was one entry with 'no reply'. I also noticed that most of the response times was 3ms but for every 30 or so replies, it was closer to 200ms.

Transferring data through them is slower than my wireless. I can wirelessly transfer a file at around 5MB/s but through the Powerline, it is more like 3.5MB/s (this obviously, at 28mbps is nowhere close to the advertised speeds).

I have tried multiple sockets with similar results. I live in a recently converted apartment block so I can't imagine the mains cabling is poor.

I don't really know what else to try. I'd be grateful for any ideas.....

Thanks
Nick
