TL-PA511KIT not giving anywhere near the speed it is supposed to.

I am using the TL-PA511KIT which is supposed to work at a speed up to 500 mbps (I know the difference between mbps and MBps) while our internet subscription is 200 so eventho I know it's normal to lose some of that 500 speed it should work find with the 200 mbps subscription right? My pc is brandnew with good parts, the cable used is utp cat 5e so that's fine (even went out for those specifically because the kit came with utp cat 5), put my pc settings to 1 gbit because the powerline has a gbit port. With this all I still only manage to get around 40 mbps (tested it many times with speedtest.net). What can I do to at the very least double my speed? This is really annoying to have such slow internet especially as all my friends (we're gamers so speed is pretty important) have a speed 5 times faster. On the same circuit as the receiving part (the one going into my pc) only has my pc, a lamp, my phone charger (tried pulling this last one out and only helped for like 3 mbps) and a babyphone, nothing I can really leave out. Thanks in advance for any potential advise.
