Speed queries

I recently purchased the Ultrafast Plus service.

 

I have two computers, one connected directly to the router and I'm getting the expected speeds of 520Mbps down and 73Mbps up.

 

My second computer is connected through a powerline adapter (TP Link AV2000), but I'm only getting 310Mbps down, the upload speed is still 73Mbps

 

The property is only two years old with FTTP, so my question is if I purchase say a Devolo Magic 2 AV2400, can I expect to reach speeds closer to 520Mpbs?

Powerline adapters are half duplex they can only deal with download and upload seperately unllke a full length of ethernet which would be full duplex also the av numbers quoted are hypothetical and they often cannot handle the full fttp speed consequently 310Mbps is a good powerline speed
