Not the first pair I've used.. but the only pair I have plugged in.
Model number is: TP-LINK TL-PA411 (500mbps)
Yes these are connected straight to my router. Hard wired router speeds around 156mbps. Highest I can achieve on PL is 22mbps. I have tried upstairs-downstairs (changing the PL from plugged in next to router to plug socket opposite side of room), also tried adjacent room from router and lastly the same room as the router, and still can only achieve 22mbps TOPS.
Very annoying. I only need it to achieve 35mbps so that I don't have to pay to get an ethernet line installed from upstairs-downstairs for BT Infinity

Pretty sure ADSL tops out at around 17mbps. I'm with VM 150mbps.

Done both of these now. Doesn't make a difference
