Model: TL-PA7017P KIT  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I synced correctly  TL-PA7017P and connected to the network, but I only reach 100mb out of 600mb I should. 

 

What I am doing wrong?

Just to be clear, both my router and PC show I have Gigabit broadband so, no clue why I only receive 100 Mbps.

@Acci Good day, 

 

1. The real speed limited by the speed from main router.  Please unplug the main powerline adapter, and wire a computer to the same Ethernet cable, what is the speed from main router?  Please make sure that cable between router & the main powerline unit is a cat5E cable or above. 

2. It is recommended to download the tpPLC Utility and check what is the powerline rate between 2 powerline units, if the speedtest results is about 20-30% of the powerline rate, it is reasonable.  Here is a related FAQ that may help: 

Explanation  about the Powerline Rate and Actual speed of the Powerline Adapters

@Acci 

I am also in a similar situation as you are. From my part, I have a 200Mbps download speed on my ISP contract. But I still can not get the full desired speed but not even close to that. My powerline still spits out 100Mbps from my AV1000 dongles, with > Cat5E wired infrastructure.


From what I've seen on past posts, in my case, it might have to do with a Firmware issue.

@JSilva Thank you for trying to help.

Speed will reduce when signal transmitted through power line, the actual speed could be different under different power line environment.

You may have a check the powerline rate between powerline adapter, the actual speed is around 20% -30% of the powerline rate and  limited by the speed coming from router.

1 Connected directly to my router, 580-600 Mbps Cat6 cable. 2 so you basically are telling me that the efficiency of this product is 20-30%?? (On an ideal no interference environment?) So no wonder I receive 100Mbps since I'm some rooms away from the router (AND THAT'S WHY I ORDERED THIS) Where that was disclaimed? Is this some sort of false advertising? So since I receive only 100 of 600, if I need to 300Mbps in my connection I have to request at least 1800mbps to my ISP ?? Why I bought the Gigabit one instead of the basic and cheaper model then?

@Acci  Hello, 

There isn't a direct conversion rate between router speed and the speed of powerline unit. And the actual speed is closely related to the Powerline Rate which indicates the powerline environment in your house, if powerline environment is bad, more bandwidth will be lost during the transmission. 

 Here is part of my reply on #3 of your thread:

Hi, thanks for your answer, I understood what is explained both in your message and in the link you provide.

 

It seems that is assumed the user have to have this technical knowledge in advance and is not disclaimed anywhere. 

 

Not fair.

Hmm. I thought the data transfer inside the electrical current of the powerline speed just limited the data transfer from the Powerline adapter to the ethernet connected device in a direct way; more precisely that the global speed would be the Minimum of both speeds and not a percentage of the electrical current of the powerline speed.

@JSilva  Actually more data lose in the data travelling through house powerline between two PLC units, just like the speed loss in Air,  speed also lose in powerline. Ethernet connection normally could preserve 80-90% of the data. For powerline connection, we could judge if actual speed in the normal range according to powerline rate. The conversion is 30% -40% when tested in the Lab,   but the conversion could lower to around 20% to 30% in actual household environment.
