Powerline adapter recommendation

Hi use a TP-Link AV600 poweline adapter to connect my computer to the router and the connection drops every one in a while due to the adapter overheating, which requires me to disconnect the adapter for a few minutes. Also, the speed is not great (around 20Mb/s).

I tried a netgear adapter which overheated too, can anyone recommend a powerline adapter fit for a warm climate?

Ethernet/Wifi solutions are out of the picture.

Thanks

They all suck, which is part of the issue. TP-Link is the best I have used, try the gigabit TP-link units, they do not seem to overheat at all.

 

Why do they suck? See here: 

 

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

I had very good luck with a TP link unit, and a friend is using them with success now. Powerline kits are altogether dependent on the type and quality of your home's wiring, so there is always going to be some variability in quality of performance.  They're a great option if you can't run wires though.  Would strongly recommend TP link.
