Model: TL-WPA4220 KIT  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

We've just changed to BRSK as our internet provider and its the Betternet 1000 that gives you 900Mbps download/upload speeds

 

I've found my TP-Link Powerline kit I've not used for years and thought I would see what speeds I can get with it.

 

With the Powerline plugged into the room below where the router is and the ethernet cable connected from the Powerline to my laptop I'm only getting 2.8Mbps download and 44Mbps upload speeds.

 

When not using the Powerline and just using wifi I'm getting 117Mbps download and 298Mbps upload speeds.

 

Surely this cant be right?

Hello @ReeceS ,

Thanks for contacting our community.

 

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.
