26 MBPS after upgrading to Comcast 600 MBPS internet and keeps dropping gaming computer.

Just upgraded to Comcast 600 mbps internet and now my daughter keeps getting dropped in her online games. Checked speed on my desktop ethernet connection to modem, over 600 mbps. Checked speed on her computer plugged into powerline 26mbps. Computers are maybe 40-50 feet apart. Seems way low. Any ideas? Thanks.

That does seem low for Gb powerline. Even wifi could beat that.

 

Has this just started happening?

 

If it started after the speed upgrade, and all was well before the change, there's a chance that her PC sees a "new" network. Windows can be very picky about the networks it joins.

 

If nothing else has changed, things on the mains circuit for example, you might have to play around with her network settings. Or set up the powerline from scratch.
