Slower speeds with powerline wifi 1000

Im currently getting 10 mbps on when connected to the powerline but get 200 mbps when connected to my house wifi. Is there a way to fix this or should i just return them?

    Powerline depends a lot on the local mains circuit. If you have plus on different side of a fuse box or junction box, for example, the signal will have hard time bridging the gap.Then there is the stuff on the mains that can inject noise into the circuit.

     

    There's not much that you can do about it.

     

    Try the plugs in different mains sockets, starting with two close  by in the same room. That will give you an idea of what you  might get on a clean circuit.
