i assume "point of access" you are refering to, is the ont (piccie > https://support.aa.net.uk/File:Fttp-ont-pon.jpg )

is the powerline adaptor connecting between the downstairs router to your pc? how is upstairs connected?

Please note that some powerline adaptors run at 100mbits on the ethernet socket!

I am confused: it might be an age thing!

I have a 330/50Mbps FTTP service that delivers 304/46Mbps at the ONT. The ONT connects to a WAN port on my Fritz!Box 4060 router.

I have a Fritz!Repeater which is meshed to my router. The repeater has a LAN port which is connected to a 5 port switch. If I run a speed check at the switch, I get 304/46Mbps.

Why are we discussing 2 routers?

I am confused

I've read this thread regularly since it started and each time its made no sense.

The OP has appeared confused from the start of the piece about the terminology for the equipment needed. Right through the thread it is clear that there is confusion between the function and capabilities of a router and the function and capabilities of a wireless access point. That is no criticism of the OP as we all start from limited technical knowledge (and often only learn the hard way).

However, until the OP can give a clear explanation of the set-up there isn't a lot of sensible advice that can be given.

Correct. i think the power line adaptor bridge is limiting his speed but i may be wrong..

It might be helpful if the OP sketched out his set up. He seems to have made things unnecessarily complicated for himself. A mesh is a better option if running cables to each floor isn’t possible.
