I'm using Extra. When I connect my computer to the router with a direct Ethernet cable the download speed is about 65 Mbps. Fine.
However, when i use a pair of Solwise powerline adaptors the best download speed is 35 Mbps. The technician on the Solwise help desk said
that this could be caused by a dirty power supply for the modem.
Plusnet have told me that they can't replace the power supply. Apparently it was supplied by BT.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Can anyone suggest powerline adaptors that can cope with the noise?
Can anyone suggest where I can buy a cleaner power supply for the modem?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Mick

Have you checked the specifications to see what the maximum speed your powerline adapters are capable of?

During WW Two many mil kit radios were powered in the field by 'vibrating' invertors and they produced a "saw wave" pattern and were very dirty.............................but back to the point the little power bricks we all are stuck with being DC output I thought cannot be a so called source of dirty power not least of which the circuitry in the powered device(Router in this instance) should smooth any minor variances that might exist??? So maybe the Solwise guy was blowing smoke up your proverbial

Moving one to a wall socket 4 metres away across the room dropped the reported connection speed to 294Mbs.

Also powerline adapters suffer more when used across different ring circuits as mcb and especially rcbo breakers attenuate the rf energy more than a straight fuse !

Quote from: Strat Just out of interest I plugged my pair of 500Mbs homeplugs side by side into a triple wall socket and the supplied PC app announced they were connected at 504Mbs.
Moving one to a wall socket 4 metres away across the room dropped the reported connection speed to 294Mbs.
thanks for that link, they are ones I'm looking at getting. Although I only get 11mb speed on fibre.. do you think they are still worth the extra over say 200mb? I currently use and ethernet cable, so I want the best possible speed.

However when moving files across a network more factors come into play than the speed of a homeplug link.
