Right i'm very "annoyed" now with powerline kits.

Tried 150mbps and now a 300mbps

Top speed ive been able to get was about 80meg & they keep playing up.

unidentified network, drop off randomly, can't connect to router.

What alternatives do I have?

Cable is not an option router is downstairs behind the TV and PC is upstairs.

Its a new build so walls are paper thin.

I have Virgin 152mbps so want to get the most I can out of the speed.

Any solutions? Using a TP link N600 USB stick atm as the powerline isn't working again.

Could you run some Ethernet cable out the wall, up, then into the room with the pc?

I have a mid terrace and did this to tide me over. Goes out the window and up to the room above

Rented house so can't do anything like that.

My current router is a tp link WDR3500 N600 so its only 300mbps 5ghz could that be a reason for only 90mbps via wifi?

USB backup is a Tp link n600 WDN3200

I believe there tp link micro ones rated at 300mbps.

Ive not no real solution for cabling would involve too much through the house.

I am debating an ac router and adapter
 
just tried re-synching, swapped them around tried different plugs still unidentified network which ive read means that they are not talking to each other
 
House is only 3 years old new build. Adapters were trednet and i believe they have gigabit my old ones were to link.

Been and bought a nice big 400mm drill bit and its going out the house this weekend
