Aloha. I have a situation where I am forced to use powerline adapters to get ethernet into a room in my house. So, I purchased a pair of Netgear PL1200-100PAS powerline adapters to see if they would work. I have 300 Mbps going into the first powerline adapter, and coming out of the 2nd powerline adapter, I have 70 Mbps. This is when I have both of them connected on the same circuit in my house (verified by turning the circuit breaker off).
I realize that there will be some loss of throughput when using any powerline adapter, but this seems excessive. What would be a "real world" reasonable throughput with these adapters (assuming 300 Mbps going in to adapter 1)?
And, what can I do to improve the throughput? I've already gotten a warranty replacement from Netgear and the performance did not change. The only thing left I can think of is to change the outlets. They are 25 years old. I can do this myself, but would like to know if it would possibly be worth the effort.
Mahalo for your assistance.
