and chances are the 2 ends of this setup will always be on separate circuits so one should always expect some loss of signal
You are talking about two different things here.

The 75 is on your WAN.

The adaptors theroretical 1200 is on the LAN.

Stating "They claim 1200mbps but the actual speed is way less..." is incorrect.

The 60 is not a byproduct of the device or technology. The limitation is your broadband connection.

Peer to peer within your LAN you should see significantly better than 60.

But if the LAN is only being fed 76 from the WAN then 60 is about right.

Put another way, they are not multipliers and won't put out more than they are fed.

Speaking about the theoretical speed and apparent bandwidth loss in the same sentence only makes sense if you are feeding it something close to its throughput potential and not seeing it on the other end.

So my assumption was you were referring to poor peer to peer LAN throughput hence my relaying why that might be / the cause.

My apologies for seemingly offending you by trying to help.
