We recently switched from Century Link to Xfinity internet, and though I'm now getting 200+ DL speeds on the direct connections in the office, her performance is actually worse over the same Powerline units. It's also bad with some upgraded units we got to handle the higher speeds.

I'm suspecting noise on the line and distance from the main unit as the main culprits overall, though I don't know why her speeds are worse with the new service. The only variable I can think of other than the service itself is the fact that I'm using different outlets in the office for the outgoing Powerline, because the phone jack is on one side of the room and the coax is on the opposite side.

My question is, what is the price range I would expect to pay to have someone set-up the lines and the hub in the house? I'm estimating 4 locations for jacks, probably with at least one location having a double jack.


Thanks,

If you bought your ethernet over powerline units a few years ago they are probably only 10/100 units and aren’t capable of the newer higher speeds. Just buy new units that are gigabit rated.
