@JAC Is that adapter plugged into a surge protector or multi-strip? It looks like it is. Powerline adapters should not be connected in this way and should be the only thing in the socket - there’s too much interference otherwise!
-
@JAC Yes, you could turn off ACL (Access Control Lists) because you’ll probably not need them - try it

@phenomlab I understand, I don’t have a plug socket nearby unfortunately

@phenomlab So I need to login to the settings and turn this off pal?

.@JAC Can you try it in another room that does have spare sockets? It would then rule out the powerline adapters - you obviously need to do the same downstairs where the hub is.

Ok so testing with same set up, just powerline adapter plugged into the wall and NOT extension. - With VPN on
With VPN off
-
All in all seeing speeds pretty similar to what I get off WiFi. Is it best to just stick with the WiFi and put up with that?

@JAC I think so, yes. It’s pretty clear that the speed drops significantly with the powerline adapters even if the VPN is off, but with it connected directly to the hub downstairs, you get in excess of 800Mbps. Would be worth testing directly into the hub from the lounge one more time I think to ensure the speed experience is consistent.

@phenomlab thanks for the continued advice Mark.
So testing again over WiFi…
With VPN off
With VPN on
- seems a high result. 🧐 -

@JAC But nothing like this
https://sudonix.org/topic/286/virgin-router-replacement/91?_=1695833317393
Is that in the same room as the hub ?
@phenomlab Absolutely pal, I wonder if moving the hub would improve the speed? It seems to me like it probably would? but I’m no expert, that’s why I’m here asking you the questions
.I’d love them speeds mate really would!
The same room as the hub yes mate

@phenomlab as of now I’m getting around 80mbps with the VPN on.

@JAC Can you test wired in the same room ? This is completely different to what we got yesterday

Wired connection over 800mbps yesterday if I remember right?

Yes - I want to make sure it’s the same and not a fluke.
