Today we finally got fibre optic installed in my house, most of the devices in my house are wireless and they seem to be able to get a pretty solid 50Mb/s connection most of the time however my computer is connected via powerline adapter and i seem to only be able to pull through about 12Mb/s on average, it does spike higher that 12 however not by too much. i know that it can support more than this on my network as we have a 69Mb/s download speed when testing from a wired connection to my router. It seems most likely to be a problem with the powerline adapters as ive heard that they can generally be slower especially when having to travel to different ring mains. Any other ideas or suggestions to try improve this for the time being whilst i try sort out a wired connection would be appreciated

I should have also probably added that i use a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller as my adapter and we have another one connected to a 4gang extension the the router connects into
