TL-PA4010 TpPLC bandwidth is not consistent with speedtest.net results.
Hello,
I have been a fairly satisfied user of the TL-PA4010PKIT for a couple of years now until we decided to upgrade our internet connection at home from 5Mbps to 50Mbps. Since then, I noticed that I have only been getting between 7 - 15Mbps when running speedtest.net while connected to a wifi access point that is connected to the LAN port of one of the PA4010 units. However when I open the TpPLC app on my Macbook while connected to that access point, the app is reporting between 40 - 70Mbps which changes probably when there is noise from other electrical appliances at home. I confirmed that checking at the modem end that I am getting the expected 50Mbps when I connect the laptop directly to it and run another test on speedtest.net.
Why is there a discrepancy between the speedtest.net result and the TpPLC app result when I assume that they are using the same routes/channels? I am expecting that the speedtest result will be able to play between 40Mbps (minimum from TpPLC) - 50Mbps (maximum from the internet provider).
Is there anything that I should do to bring the actual internet speed check closer, if not exactly as the TpPLC app results? Thank you!
