TL-PA4010KIT Powerline Adapter Capping Bandwidth on GeForce NOW

2020-06-18 19:33:08

Model: TL-PA4010 KIT

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version:

I've recently got new powerline adapters (TP Link AV600 TL-PA4010 Kit) and I've started to experience bandwidth capping at 2Mbps during game streaming with GeForce Now. I switched to this powerline adapter from a Zyxel PLA4201v2 (an old model) for the higher bandwidth capabilities, but on the Zyxel I didn't experience any bandwidth capping.

I know it's not the ethernet cables, or quality of the powerline connection, or quality of connection between servers. I have internet speeds of 100Mbps, which is detected by GeForce NOW, yet it still bottlenecks.

Why does my current powerline adapter cap bandwidth when streaming on GeForce NOW whilst my old one didn't?

Thanks.

@Iskandar

Hello, please help more details as below:

1. Are you playing GeForce NOW on a computer or Android mobile phone? How about other applications on that computer or phone, are they normal?

2. How about the other device if you connect it to the powerline adapter with an Ethernet cable? Please check the negotiation speed on it when connected to the powerline adapters:

Besides, please refer to the troubleshooting below to narrow down the speed issue:

What should I do if internet connection is slow when the device is connected to TP-Link Powerline Adapters?

May it help.
