We recently moved house and in the old house I was using powerline adapters to get ethernet throughout and it worked great.
In the new house the fibre comes in via a cupboard under the stairs. They've fitted Cat6 in the walls but not in _any_ of the rooms I need it in. I figured this was fine as I have powerline adapters.
However I'm finding that the hub does *not* like to be powered through the passthrough socket on the powerline. I haven't even connected the ethernet to it, simply having the Hub mains plug in the adapter drops our download from 150 to 14, wired and wireless.
I unplugged the hub, plugged the mains directly into the wall, and voilà, sustained 150Mb, even on WiFi. Do hubs not like to be powered via a passthrough socket? Perhaps I'll need to connect it to the Cat6 in the wall, and connect one of the other Cat6 ports to a powerline adapter in another room?
