A speed question

Hi,
So I've bought myself some AV2000 connectors (2gbps max). I plugged them in and they paired perfectly. Installed the util and it shows a powerline rate of between 1000-1150mbps which is perfect as I was wanting to take benefit of my new internet connection (400mb). However, even though I'm using a short 1 metter cable from the router to powerline adapter > powerline adapter to PC, I can only ever get between 120-160mbps. Does that sound right or is something going amiss? I realize that the powerline rate might not be the actual network rate, but is there any way I can tell what the actual network speed is?
I'm thinking of trailing a 20 meter ethernet cable up the stairs until I find a solution, but if I go missing from here... it's because my wife has killed me and buried me in the garden ;-)
Thanks in advance with any help you can offer.

Similar issue?
Hi - first post.
I experience similar issues with my AV500 set of powerline adaptors.
I have to say I don't really understand the TP-Link PLC Utility so I'm not entirely sure there is an issue.
However, I have 5 adaptors - they all report much lower speeds than the 500 Mbps of the adaptor itself - generally around 100Mbps each, although they are all different.
Also, it gives speeds for adaptors that it doesn't even show as being on (although they all are).
What I don't understand, is I can select one of them in the utility and it will show a connection speed to one of the others, but when I click on that 'other' one, the connection speed back to the first one is different.
Is all this normal?
Cheers in advance
Tony.
