PL1000 slow speed despite green PickAPlug led
Lots of discussion about my problem, but no definitive "solution" it seems With a wired or wifi connection to my router I can get a relaible 100Mbps on Speedtest.net I have one PL1000 wired straigh...
Update (with a smiley face!)
I moved my PL1000s around. They’re still separated by quite a few feet (in separate buildings in fact) but I do know their on the same mains circuit
The PowerLine utility shows over 200Mbps link speed, but more importantly I get my ISPs 100Mbps on Speedtest.net
So, how the PowerLine network is constructed across your house wiring IS quire critical. My initial test, was with them on two circuits from the same consumer unit (breaker box), but presumeably split by mcbs!
Small steps
I took the power strip out of the puzzle, and now get just under 40Mbps (bits not bytes) - as measured at Speedtest.net
The two are still on separate circuits though. More testing tomorrow methinks
The house has just been completely rewired, so I’m 100% happy about that aspect
