PLP2000 Speed
I have 2 powerline PLP2000 adapters plugged into the only 2 outlets on the same wire. The wire runs the length of the house and 2 stories down to the basement. I have xfinity internet service with ...
I just re-read your post. I'm dumb. Most tv's and roku's aren't gigabit. They're 100mbps. For the most part, streaming only takes 25-40mbps to stream 4k so most tv's and streaming devices don't build in gigabit as its more expensive (barely). Try with something that isn't one of those 2 devices. You don't hit gigabit over powerline but you probably will get faster than 90mbps if you have a capable device.
Thanks. That sounds like a logical test, but, This is an older house and the only 3 plug outlet in the office with router is the outlet I am using.
The wire and outlets I am using is new and runs to the office (for my computers) from the basement . I would have to temp run a 100+ft cat6 cable from router to the basement and then use the other 3 plug outlets in the basement (the work shop) to test this.

Thanks. I did not thank of that. These devices seem to be very stable with no buffering and always with a speed test of 90 to 93 mbs. I am happy with the performance with 90 mbs as I was getting around 10 to 20 mbs with my WIFI before installing the powerline. So the powerline has helped. I was just curious about the speed.
THANK YOU.
Glad to have an idea of whats going on! Just regret I didn't look thoroughly enough at the start. Its pretty rare for a tv/streamer to have gigabit. and 90mbps should be fine for what you're using them for!
