Hi guys,
so here is my setup and the strange behavior I'm observing. I'll appreciate if anyone have explanation or ideas why this is happening.
Setup:
WAN Router < Powerline Adapter 1 in a normal wall plug > Powerline Adapter 2 in a Fibaro wall plug > Laptop connected to Powerline
Everything works but what I noticed is that the Internet bandwidth on the far end side is lower (I have 50Mbps internet connectivity and while doing speed test I was getting 16Mbps). After a little troubleshooting I noticed that if I remove the FBWP and connect the powerline adapter directly to the electrical network the bandwidth doesn't drop - it's 50Mbps. Next steps:
- moved the FBWP and Powerline close to the HCL: with and without FBWP I get 50Mbps bandwidth
- moved the setup in room a little bit farther: with FBWP I got 30Mbps bandwidth, w/o - 50Mbps
- moved to the original location which is the farthest point (meaning weakest Z-wave signal to the HCL): with FBWP - 16Mbps, w/o - 50Mbps
So basically with moving the plug farther than HCL I get lower bandwidth throughput through the powerline (electrical network), which I can't explain why is happening. Z-wave should be used only for communication between FBWP and HCL, not for any data transported. The problem is not in the electrical network since without FBWP everything is working fine.
Any ideas?
