powlerline 100 very slow speeds to computer
I have just moved house and taken out BT 900 MB service, my router is from BT, smart hub 2 , is downstairs and confrim to that i am getting almost 900 to devices in the room with the router on a test site i use regually.
using wifi i can only get speeds of 100 t0 150 MB to my computer upstairs, ( one floor and almost above router )
i connected my powerline 1000 to my router and then to my computer upstairs and all connects all lights on etc BUT i can only get 120 to 150MB to my computer
to test i connected cable direct from my router via the stairs to my computer and got almost 800MB, obvously can not leave this connected and why i bought the powerline
any suggestions why i can not get better speed please
thanks for any assistance, IF posted in the wrong place please let me know where is best to post

You didn't put what powerline device you're using so its hard to look up its specs/performance.
I would advise looking at actual powerline testing as powerline "speed ratings" are very inflated. its an industry wide issue.
