Powerline 2000 will not perform
This post is just some general observations before I return my Powserline 2000 to BestBuy.
Using Speedtest.net for all speeds...
Connecting my computer directly to my modem --- 930 Mbps
Connecting to modem via WiFi (eero 6 dual-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 router) --- 285 Mbps
Connecting via the Powerline 2000 --- 130 Mbps
Connection via Powerline 2000 after doing factory reset --- 119 Mbps
I know you can't really trust marketing information, but this thing doesn't even com eclose to anything advertised on the box or website. Since it is only 2 days old, hopefuolly BestBuy will give us a full refund.
The point of this post.... Buyer beware......
they make a flat ethernet cable on monoprice that can be hidden pretty easily.
I've used that before.
Or even relocating the modem could be an option. Many houses are wired for coax

the problem with powerline is how many different things can impact its speeds.
If you're crossing circuits, those speeds are actually pretty good.
I'd highly recommend reading a few tests/reviews on powerline devices
Thanks for the advice... However, I will be abandoning this particular solution, unfortunately. I was looking to the Powerline units just as a convenient way to ethernet connect to my modem. I'll will now just take the time to "hide" the ethernet cables and direct connect.
