What's an AC splitter?

Sorry, I guess it's called a power strip in the US (although it doesn't necessarily have a cable, part, but attaches directly to a wall socket).

Your power strip could have surge protection that would be affecting
your results.

Also look for and remove noise sources like cellphone chargers and other "wall-wart" power adapters.

I don't pay much attention to the link rates shown by powerline utilities. Measure actual throughput by doing a drag-and-drop large filecopy to get a more accurate idea of actual throughput.

MIMO adapters require connection to all three lines (hot, neutral and ground).

I've never seen a power-strip/splitter usage function well. Your experience only reflects the usual manufacturer recommendation: "don't use a power strip".

I recently installed six sets of the TP-Link TL-PA6010 AV2s in six 200 & 500 working situations, and three of those TP-Links failed to connect. I plugged back in the old units and they continued to work fine.

I did a few more tests (ensuring the units themselves worked, yes they do) but I didn't investigate each location's wiring because, well, the joy of the Powerlines is that they work or don't. Quick, easy. I've written the Fails off as a pickier handling of line noise, or interference, or ?? something else. Those 3 failed sets work for other customers, though, and I left it at that.

Since then, crickets... Anyone heard of any actual MIMO shipping product or even just a public review of a prototype?

DLAN 1200+ is on the shelves in parts of Europe for about 2-3 weeks now.
