Good day :)

MY power line adapter connect arrived today. It's a TP-LINK pa411kit 500mpbs. I use a cat5 wire. I bought the power line because a I had a long wire to downstairs but i kept tripping. it was a cat5e. On the wire I would get 60mbps which is what is payed for. On the power line I get from 30-40mbps(ping the same). I fiddled with the QoS a bit i got it to 50 at one point but went down after doing it again.

Any kind of help would be nice.

P.S. what does good effort and excellent effort mean. I'm kinda a noob at networking.

TLDR: How do i get my internet faster from a power line connector

It didn't make your internet slower, made your internet connection using the powerline adapter slower.

They are 500mBIT/s which works out to about 62mBYTE/s under ideal conditions. Considering you're getting 30-40, that is decent. If you have two powerline adapter next to each in 2 rooms run off the same circuit break, you'll get maybe the 50-60mBYTE range, but if it's across your house, not on the same circuit breaker, etc, the 30-40 is probably the best you're going to get.

depending on the adapter you have and how noisy your electrical system is at your house, there may not be a way to get it to go faster.

if you have very noisy power (old electrical system, lots of devices introducing noise into your power) then there may be additional overhead in having to retransmit data etc.

30-40mbps seems decent for that kind of system.

Sorry I couldnt' be more help :D
