Powerline adapters

So, I have a Virgin Superhub 2, and since I got this modem+router my netgear adapter for my PC upstairs has had real trouble connecting to the internet, when it works I can get upwards of 70mb/s, or I could be getting 2mb/s, or it just won't work at all.

 

Therefore I switched back to my old power line adapters which are fairly old and can only manage up to 50mb/s, but usually sit around 20. Does anyone have any recommendations on decent power line adapters that should work well with a virgin superhub, my internet is either 100mb/s or 156mb/s? Thanks

I have these http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-WPA4220KIT-Powerline-Extender-Configuration/dp/B00DHB2T44/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1399215016&sr=1-3&keywords=av500 and they get my full 60Mbps, and they are rated to 500Mbps, and 300Mbps on wifi.

 

TP Link AV500 if the link redirects to Amazon.com

I will definitely consider it, thanks.

If you put the link in code tags it wont be replaced by the awful, broken amazon javascript that has been implemented on this forum even though it is completely broken. I have reported it as a bug, but aparently nobody cares.

It is rather inconvenient, but it only takes a few seconds to copy/paste into the UK amazon. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed it though.
