Recently I found out that we are paying for 30 download and 6 upload for internet which surprised me (long story)because in MANY speedtests I was getting 19mbps (max) and about 15 to 16(avg) with the full 6 upload. When I found out that we were paying for 30mbps download I took my laptop and plugged it in via ethernet and on a few tests was getting 29 to 35mbps but with wireless right next to the router was getting the 19(max). The router is wireless N and so are all the adapters in the house.

 

I was thinking about trying powerline as I think there is some severe interference with the router that is causing the house to not receive the full speed.

 

Who has tried it and how did you like it? How old was your house wiring?

Yes. I had similar problems in a house with all solid walls. I bought a powerline adaptor and it works just fine. My house wiring is 16 years old.
