I am about ready to admit defeat and ask for help. Over the last few weeks I have been trying to get a decent internet signal into the corner of my house. The SH3 is in the opposite corner downstairs. Initially I tried to use a D-Link AC2600 as my router and stuck the SH3 into router mode. For the price this solution was pants. I genuinely can't say I noticed a huge amount of difference and every 30 minutes or so it would throttle down to 1mbps (I have 100mbps) or completely switch off. I then tried it as an access point using the virgin powerlines adapter and again seemed great but after 30 minutes or so it throttled itself or switched off. I thought this must be a dud so I sent it back.
I am using the Virgin Powerline adapters and they are okay. Unfortunately, due to the plug point in the room the signal is rubbish. Through the ethernet port I can easily get 100mbs but this isn't a reasonable solution long term.
Not wanting to fork out another £150 if I can avoid it I bought a tp-link 450mbps access point. This I assumed would solve all of my problems. Once again however, I am stuck with slow speeds even when next to the point. What am I doing wrong. The ethernet point gives great speeds so why won't the access points.
Feeling desperate and defeated

Edit - the access points always run on a separate ssid but the powerlines are still giving off their own ssid. For whatever reason they give a pretty decent signal to the floor below.
