So I recently bought a new desktop that I use. As my house is fairly spread out and separated by numerous thickly plastered walls, we have two power-line adapters (Netgear something or others) on either side of the house connect respectively to its own desktop and router.
We had some issues with inconsistency for many years. After numerous diagnostics with the cable company, we bought a better internet speed and got a new modem figuring it would fix the problems. Problems inside were solved, 40mbps d/l & 7mbps d/l on any and all wired and wireless devices. However, about 10 feet on the other side of a wall from one router, the desktop, using a wireless connection was practically unusable. Initially connection was decent with this PC, with 20mpbs d/l and maybe 2 or 3mbps u/l. However something changed, and I did experiment with positioning of the router and restarting everything. I was lucky if I even got connected, let alone achieve a d/l speed of 1mbps. You get the picture.
Well I finally bought a powerline adapter kit, the NETGEAR 1200, and attached it, and it worked immediately. However, speeds were maxing out at 20mbps for D/L and 6mbps U/L. Then later on, I had the same problem with super low speeds. Now, that shortly resolved itself, but I'm unsatisfied with low consistency and lower speed than is being paid for.
Yes it's plugged into the wall.
Yes it's in the same network.
I've even plugged in this specific adapter inside and it gets the same speeds as inside.
Help me? Thanks I really appreciate it.
