  1. Yes, I have already tried different ethernet cables and it didn't change anything about it. Obviously, I never installed new power cables in the buildings. If it would be broken logging, there should be a way to fix it by unplugging the devices for a while or it would stay bad for my specific set of adapters. However in the first house I installed the adapters in, I had them laying around for more than half a year before trying again and it the performance was still garbage. On the contrary, when I first moved, the adapters did definitely not work two weeks before going into my new apartment. When I tried it the first time after moving, the performance was great. And after a few weeks of living there it started degrading and never got good again - just like in the first building. Or the third or fourth that I lived in since I have the powerline set. It's really as if something about the wiring in the walls changes from an extended use of the adapters. But I don't have any reasonable explanation what that could be.
  2. Hey folks I have a very odd behavior with my TPLink D-Lan adapter set. I deployed it in four different buildings this far and could observe the same exact behavior in each: Upon first installation it works very good. The latency is extremely low (<1ms) and the bandwidth is as advertised (roughly 300 Mbit/s). It's definitely the superior choice over WiFi when I have no option to use an Ethernet cable. However after three to four weeks the performance starts degrading slowly. After another four weeks or so it hits it's lowest point at more than 100ms latency and less than 5Mbit/s bandwidth. Usually I would expect that this happens due to overheating, inferior hardware quality or interference with other devices plugged into the power lines. But these can all be ruled out. When the performance starts degrading it never becomes better again. When I unplug the adapters for multiple weeks, unplug everything except for the fiber modem and a PC for testing the problem persists. In all four buildings I lived in since I bought the adapters the same behavior occurs and I was never able to make it work again. As soon as I tried it in a new building everything works perfect again for a few weeks. Switching power sockets doesn't do anything either. It looks as if the electrical cables are deteriorating but that so unreasonable, isn't it? Even worse: a friend of mine bough the same adapter set and observed the same behavior in their home. When I brought my adapter set and tried it out, the performance was still miserable. I can not find any explanation for this behavior and therefore have no idea how to fix it. Does anyone here have an idea? I want to avoid drilling several walls open to deploy an Ethernet cable. Thanks for your help in advance :)
  3. So your guess is that this is the problem and there is nothing else I can try?
  4. Hello everyone! Hardware: MSI B350 PC Mate Ryzen 5 2600 KFA2 GTX 1060 OC be quiet! Pure Power 400W 2x 8GB G.Skill Trident DDR4 RGB I have brand new parts here that just arrived yesterday, but I can't get it to work. When I hit the power button, everything seems to be normal. All fans start spinning, the RGB light on the RAM lighs up, and the "Ez Debug LEDs" on the mainboard light up shortly but then go off immediately - according to the manual this says everything is fine. Unfortunately, that's pretty much all that happens, there is no video output at all and I'm stuck with it now. According to a user on reddit, there is an incompatibility with this particular CPU and mainboard which can easily be fixed with a bios update. But how am I supposed to accomplish that without another CPU if I can't reach the bios with this one? What I checked so far: Since I do have another computer, I switched the Graphics Cards and it turns out both work in my computer, but none work in the new one. Same phenomenon without any graphics card attached. The screws and placeholders are all in place and do have connection to the main board. Clearing CMOS didn't show any different result either. Using just one RAM sick didn't show different results, also not using any other possible stick-slot combination Removing the RAM entirely results in the Debug LEDs stating there is an issue with the DRAM Removing the CPU entirely results in the Debug LEDs stating there is an issue with the CPU (so it looks like those are working properly) Leave it running for more than an hour, just in case it just takes a long time for the first boot Do you have any suggestions what I could try next? Or an idea what went wrong? I tried to contact the reseller but they don't have tech support on weekends. Thanks for any kind of help!
