WiFi faster than Ethernet?

HI everyone,

I have tested this multiple times and I have no idea why. I have tried to change out the cable, run it from the router instead of the modem, reinstall the driver, restart my computer; nothing works. I run my Ethernet through outlet adapters, which could possibly have something to do with it, however usually I get speeds upwards of 15 Mb/s. They also run out of extension cables, but as I mentioned before, I usually get speeds upwards of 15 Mb/s. I also doubt it's my motherboard since it's an Asus Z170-P with Gigabit Intel LAN. Anyone know a fix for this?
 
Solution
Never mind, the problem seems to have fixed itself. Perhaps it was just a one-off issue. I ended up unplugging my adapter that is connected to the router and leaving it like so, until I got home from school the next afternoon because it had been quite hot, so perhaps it was limiting its own speed. TL;DR I fixed the problem by unplugging the source adapter for around 12 hours.

Yeah, you plug them into outlets and then connect an ethernet cable to them. I assume that's what a powerline adapter is.

Well, I have been running this setup for around 3 months now, and I usually experience speeds upwards of 15 Mb/s on my ethernet, yet now I am all the way down into the 1Mb/s and 2Mb/s are and sometimes lower than 1 Mb/s.
