I was able to set up a bt home hub 3 as an access point in my own house with a hub4 as my main router, I had a ethernet cable run between them. No issues
A friend asked me to do the same in his house but with a few differences but i still feel it should be doable. He is on fibre plusnet and wants to use a hub5 as an access point. And he has no ethernet cable run so must use power line adaptors.
I have everything set up and running but the broadband speed off the hub5 access point is terrible, about half a meg, yet when i connect to the main fibre plus net hub its nearly 30 megs.
So I started eliminating things, i took the power line adaptors out and connected the hubs using just an ethenet cable.
Connection on both hubs is perfect. So the issue is the powerlines obviously. Im using d link 500 meg adaptors.
Are these sufficient? Is it the fact the main hub has fibre and that speed can't be put across. No clue what to do as power lines is the only way to connect the two...
