Power line question

marc69 · 25 Feb 2016 at 18:35

Hi,

I've recently got the boosted internet upgrade to 150mb/s which is working when I directly plug into the superhub but my powerlines seem to cap out at about 40mb/s. I'm wondering if new powerlines would help or am I not reaching the peak of my current ones?

I'm using these - CLICKY

I always get a bit confused with these advertised speeds and such.

From the trendnet utility

Cheers

The problem is the hub is down stairs and my PC is upstairs. If I ran the cable it would have to go through the ceiling of the lounge and then some. The rooms aren't on top of each other. I doubt I would get planning permission from the wife either lol

Haha, it might be the only option!

I wish I'd thought about doing it when the house was built (new build). We do have some satellite cables running from the sky dish in the loft and then down into the office. There is even one that goes from the loft to where the router is but I bet they ran it a different way. Other option is going outside but she doesn't like the idea of 'ugly wire' running down the side of the house!

Cheers for all the replies guys, appreciated! We have the guy from virgin media coming out on Tuesday to see why we keep getting dropouts, might see if I can get him to install a new point on the wall for some cash. That way I can't be blamed by the wife, I can use virgin as a scape goat lol
