Slow ethernet speed Xr 450
I have at&t fiber 300 mb speed and I use a power line adapter and when I test my wired connection I have really good ping but I’m not even close to 100 mb and when I’m using wireless I’m getting m...
That sounds like the power adapter slowing your speeds. I have had that happen myself, where the internal wiring is not good enough to handle that speed. Running a long ethernet cable resolved that for me. Double check with a laptop for example you get full speeds through the router when connected via ethernet.
How are you measuring that ping? On speedtest.net? On a game? On the Geo-Filter? Is anything using the internet when you're testing? Are you testing via ethernet or wifi?

- The only thing is that I have my pc downstairs in another room and my router is on the main floor and I can’t run an Ethernet cord anywhere and I measure my ping in game for example on fortnite I usually average around 30 to. 25 ping and yes my house is not a new house and the withering might be old.
- Probably not much you can do about that speed in that case unfortunately unless you use some WiFi extenders, that may help. The ping increase could be to do with the powerline adapters, what is the ping shown on the Geo-Filter?
- I’ve seen videos of what it’s supposed to look like but when I go on geo filter it doesn’t show the servers or for anti buffer bloat it doesn’t help that and for traffic prioritization it doesn’t show my pc
