@MisterW , thanks for pointing out speed limits! I actually have older AV200 POWERLINE adaptors up to 200 Mbps but a few years later I added 2 *AV600 unts that I assumed would be up to 600 Mbps - but no, looking the manual up online ,those are only up to 100 Mbps! Didn't matter at all when i was on FTTC to 40 Mbps - When I can justify the speed upgrade I'll have to replace .

Yes, I don't see how they get away advertising them as AV200 or even AV600 when in fact they only have physical 100Mb ports!

Even then you will still struggle to get fast speeds. I have a pair of AV1300 powerlines that I use occasionally. They actually have gigabit ethernet ports but in reality they still dont actually achieve much better than around 150Mb when on the same electrical circuit. Put them on different circuits they reduce to around 50Mb, via different RCDs (split load cons unit) lucky to get >25Mb.
There's another thread around where someone has bought a recent high spec pair and is getting 200Mb but I guess they weren't cheap!

I use powerline adapter TP-Link TL-4010 AV600, which I think are the same as yours. they were purchased in VDSL days.
With Full Fibre 900/100 , speedtest results is around 94 Mbps Up and down, which around the maximum speed achievable.
The adapters are behind the same RCD with two MCD between them.
Syncing AV200 and AV600 products together can cause issues, with the slower adapters restricting the speed of the faster adapters.
