My powerline adapters (The Actiontec 500 plugs) report via the status LED that they have excellent signal- according to the Actiontec web page, green means "100Mbps+".
Yet when I test transfers to my NAS, I get 4MBps where I had 20MBps+ before over wireless N450.
Now, I understand that a powerline adapter probably can't match N450 at close range, but 4MBps (32Mbps) seems much too low given the green light. Is this normal? As I *know* my NAS performs better over wireless, all I can think is it is either the powerline adapters, or perhaps my RT-N66U is giving me terrible switch performance (NAS and powerline adapter both connected to RT-N66U LAN ports)
Any feedback? Thanks!
