Hi all,

just about a year ago I purchased 4 AV500 Powerline adapters with AC pass through (model TL-PA4020P) and have enjoyed the benefits of a wired network throughout the house, however recently I have noticed that the internet speed to the rooms served by these has dropped dramatically.

I have Virgin Media Cable connection (Vivid 200 Gamer 200Mbps connection) and when hardwired to the router, my devices managed to achieve this most of the time, however when I connect via the Powerline adapters (even in the same room) my connection never gets above 6 or 7 Mbps.
I have upgraded the firmware on all 4 devices and using the tpPLC app, they show connections varying from 76Mbps to 145Mbps.
I have tried using various devices,cables and sockets around the house and I can't seem to increase the speed in anyway.
The house was rewired about 5 years ago so its all new wiring and the fact that even side by side my speed wont change suggests to me something else is affecting the connection.

hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to solve this.

Tam
