When you've found combinations that "work", you're likely bypassing the noisy wiring. Where the noise is coming from is another can of worms... good luck!  . And it sounds like you DO get acceptable data speeds in some scenarios, so that would probably rule out slow data from your modem via the ISP.
Bottom line... I've found power line ethernet to be hit or miss. I currently use it for a Linux box and home automation. But I wouldn't use it where I depended on consistent high speed data. |
As I mentioned in my first post, there is a 110 outlet next to the 30 amp outlet that I plug my RV shore line into. When the second adapter is plugged into this 110 outlet the system syncs fine and gives a reliable 20MB download. So, based upon this, I assume the RV has the noisy wiring.
I would agree with you that powerline Ethernet is hit or miss -- and that is the purpose of my testing. So, I have ordered the more expensive Wifi version of this powerline Ethernet and will run it off the 110 outlet next to the 30 amp outlet. Physically, it's only 5 feet from my RV but needs to go through two walls.
