    Thank you for your timely reply.  I learned it was the Netgear Powerline 1200 adapters I had just purchased.  

     

    The first speedtest I did with the powerlines came up at 60mbps, then they slowed down varying between 30-20mbps, I thought something had started throttling.

     

    I have returned the products as they were slower than my Wifi, unfortunately.  The topic can be closed, I was confused because they slowed down so drastically, but I guess that is normal.

     

     It was confusing, everything is running appropriately now.

     

     

    Thank you!
