HUGE losses with TP link range extender connecting to Starlink mini router

I am losing at least 80% of my bandwidth using my existing tplink range extender plugged (rated at 1300 mbps) into the starlink router.
when i had old fashioned slow internet i lost almost nothing.
Its a simple question, but i cannot seem to find a clear answer.......any help appreciated
i downloaded the tether app - but it said it cant connect to my networks, and i am loathe to start messing about when the benefits of the app are not clear.

Hello @JPJPJP ,
Welcome to our community.
May I know what the model number of your device is? Please refer to

Is it a Starlink Gen 3 router?

Hello@JPJPJP ,
Thanks for your reply.
If you're experiencing low speed issues when connected to a TP-Link powerline device, there are several potential factors and troubleshooting steps you can take:
1. Check powerline adapters' placement: Ensure that the powerline adapters are plugged directly into a wall outlet and not into power strips, surge protectors, or extension cords.
2. Test different electrical outlets and move them into the same room for comparison.
3. Check powerline rates between the powerline devices via tpPLC utility/App, you could refer to this FAQ to understand the difference between powerline rate and actual internet speed: Explanation about the Powerline Rate and Actual speed of the Powerline Adapters
If the powerline rate is too low, refer to this FAQ to see if it will be better: What can I do if my powerline rate is very low?
4. If the wired speed is normal, only wireless connection is slow, please try to change the Wi-Fi channel and channel width on the powerline extender.
5. Check available firmware updates and ensure the powerline adapter and extender are both using the latest firmware.
