Mine is, in theory, 2Gb/s. In practise, nearer 50Mb/s.

It also causes interference on my amplifier, although it's a cheap amplifier.

About once a year one of the adaptors loses its connection to the other adaptor, and instead connects to someone else's setup in this apartment building.




That shouldn't be happening, and is a massive security/privacy issue. Your power line devices should be configured to use an encryption key unique to them.


Yep, GP should do a factory reset on both, and pair them. If it stil happens after that, replace them with models that don't have this problem!


I was pretty horrified when I worked out what had happened.

It's from TP-Link, and supposedly does pair and create a secure connection: https://www.tp-link.com/sg/home-networking/powerline/tl-wpa8...


How does interference caused by the radio waves have anything to do with using encryption?
