Hello
Just "upgraded" from my AV500 pa451 kit to the new av1200 PA8030P kit, hoping to see a little bit of a boost in speeds especially with the gigabit port of the new ones.
What I have instead seen is a *decrease* in bandwidth with the new adapters. Typical bandwidth using the av500 adapters was around 92mbit/s as measured by iperf and I was wondering if I was maybe starting to butt up against the 100mb ethernet on these devices hence my upgrade. The av1200 seems to top out at about 60-65mbit/s using the same locations, cabling and computers to test between.
Now I wasn't expecting miracle boosts in bandwidth, but I expected at least the same as before (the extra built in ports are useful on their own for my purposes), but I certainly was not expecting to see worse performance from a new generation of hardware.
I'm a little disappointed :(
any advice?

I also bought the AV1200 expecting better speeds over my AV500 & AV200 but was very disappointed to find that in the same location of my AV200 that the AV1200 performed worse !
The utility shows AV200 on 89Mbps and the AV1200 never goes above 57Mbps. This is also coupled with random disconnects. I have 4 x AV1200 and they all display the same problems so your not alone with this issue.

If anyone has any tweaks to improve performance please share.

This is actually slower than my WiFi. I am running the latest firmware. Can anything be done to improve the speed?

Be aware that the actual transfer speeds on Powerline are always several times lower than the link speed in the tpPLC utility!

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I am having also a slower speed from my AV1200 adapter when replacing a previous AV500 adapter.
The thing is, in the same house, same setup, same power outlet, connected to the same router, same computer connected to the adapter, absolutely no other change than replacing one of the AV500 adapters with one AV1200 adapter, results in 1/3 of the internet connection speed (measured using Google's Speed Test and Okla's Speedtest).
Please keep in mind that I am an advanced user, and I understand how the internet connection speed could be affected by many other things. People here in the forums mostly base their assumptions on TP-Link's reported speed and typically don't report internet connection speed. So I re-tested more than once with the AV1200, went back to the AV500 a few more times, tested in the same place with another computer connected to the adapter, and while the AV500 achieved constantly 40Mbps internet connection speed, the AV1200 adapter was always only around 12Mbps!
Has anyone had a similar situation and found some solution?
