PL1000 1Gbps not reaching over 100mbps

I recently got new internet provider and with it a new modem and Glasfiber 1giganet network in my building, now im working 1 room away from the place where the modem is and the main PL1000 but i dont get speeds higher than 100mbps on this eventhough it should support upto 1gbps why doesnt this work propperly? i get 300mbps on 5g wifi... wireless is faster than cable?

    What is the device plugged into the "remote" Powerline plug.

    Did you reset all of your network devices so that they forget any settings picked up from their past history with the older kit?

     

  • Well, I have the exact same issue, I can't reach a speed above 100mb.

     

    I have tried to disable the sleep mode but it doesn't helped at all. So if you have any suggestions, we will be happy to test it

    Resetting did not work either

      What device is this?

       

      Remember, the LAN ports may be rated at 1000 Mbps, but you won't get that speed.
