Netgear PL1000 horrible speeds (old AV200 were fine)
Hi all, I just got some Netgear PL1000 AV1000 Powerline adapters this morning and not going well so far... I've been using TP-Link AV200 adapters for 3 years and I get a solid 55Mbps download and 9-10 upload. This is with one plugged in next to the router in the lounge downstairs and the other in the spare room upstairs. There is nothing wrong with them, but I have VM 150MB internet (165Mbps on speedtest.net this morning on my mobile over Wi-fi) so I was just after something a bit better and with Gigabit ports to try and make better use of my connection. House is a small 3 bed that was built in the 1980s. Fuse box wise 'all sockets' is a single fuse if that is of any help. So... this is result from the TP-Link just before I swapped them out this morning - http://www.speedtest.net/result/5914788776.png I then plugged in the new Netgear powerlines into the same plugs and I get 1.73Mbps download and I get around the same upload as before. 500MB file LAN file transfer - upload is getting around 9MB/s so there is some extra upload bandwidth in there too but no download bandwidth; download thought about it for a while and never kicked in... http://www.speedtest.net/result/5914801776.png In order to try and eliminate it being noise of other devices in same double socket I also tried in other plugs the otherside of the rooms and switched up/downstairs adapters with each other, same speeds. It is the same story when I move upstairs to a single socket on the landing. But, I've tried moving the 2nd plug to a double socket in the lounge and I get 91Mbps download and 5Mbps upload when they're this close together. So it's not that the new powerline adapters are broken. The 'pick a plug LED' are green wherever I put them which implies Link rate > 80Mbps. I can't find anything online about this comparison to having existing adapters working fine, also very odd having such a massively low download but upload maintaining. All I can think is that the AV2 standard using the extra wire doesn't like my house as I can't think why one would work fine but not the other, but I don't really have a clue? Does anyone have any ideas please before I put them back in the box and return them? Thanks very much.come collegarsi con Apple, iPhone, iPad, MacBookPro, iMac
Buongiorno, ho in casa un modem o router nuovo di tim fibra e non riuscendo ad avere la linea wifi in una camera perche ho dei muri troppo spessi ho deciso di acquistare un PL1000 e un PLW1000. per installarli è semplicissimo ma purtroppo non riesco a collegarmi. Ho provato con WPS ma avendo solo Apple da quello che ho letto Apple non supporta la tecnologia WPS, Giusto? Quando con Iphon mi collego alla rete wifi netgear mi chiede una password e digito password ma mi dice password errata, che password devo digitare? Help me, grazie. Cordiali saluti Massimiliano
