Hello, my problem is the following. Recently, I installed high speed optic fiber (1000mb).
The network would be something like this:
PS4 -> connected directly to router
Moviles/tablets/laptop -> connected via wifi.
MY DESKTOP PC (located on the 2nd floor) -> conected via powerline to router with a category 6.a lan cable (from pc to powerline adapter and from adapter to router),
Now, the download speeds are all over the place. If I run a speed test on the ps4, it gets around 300/500 mbps. On my parent's smartphones they get no more than 200mbps. On my phone (which is older than my parent's) I cant' seem to get more than 20.
And finally, on my desktop pc, which is my main problem,I can't even reach 50mbps. Which is odd,because the powerline we're using is gigabit and capable of speeds over 100mbps..
My connection on my pc is, so far, working better than it ever did. But It is still not enough. I mean, I am downloading things at 3/4 mbps. It HAS to be faster. I mean, we are paying for 1000mb for god sake. Now, iam perfectly aware that i'll never actually reach100mb per second while downloading something. But i'd expect it to be at least 30/50mb ps no problem...
Why is this happening?I suspect it HAS to be my network card's fault,since it isn't gigabit. What could the problem be here?
