Powerline issues

archercj

I have a number of powerlines dotted around the house working well for what I need them for. A few months back the one connected to the 360 box starting showing slow speeds (diagnostics). I ended up simply unplugging it and reverting back to wifi (where diagnostics always showed high speeds). I thought it might have been the 360 box.

Anyway this week, due to a fault, I have had the 360 box replaced. So I plugged the powerline connection back in. Same thing. Diagnostics all over the place regarding speed. So I have ended up reverting back to wifi again.

Not a major issue as Ive decent wifi (I use a Asus mesh system) but has anyone else had issues with powerlines and 360 boxes? All the other devices I have conncected to the powerline 'network' never have an issue.

Powerlines are slow, it's quite old technology 

Still being sold in abundance though and in some circumstances the can be useful.
