My homeplug network setup consists of a pair of Devolo 85 Mbps homeplugs, one connected to my wireless router and sharing the same 2-gang mains socket, the other is upstairs and is connected to my PC and again the homeplug shares a 2-gang mains socket with the power strip for the PC/monitor/printer etc.
This setup worked perfectly for over a year, with my broadband test speeds exceeding 5.5 Mbps but recently the same PC has been unable to connect to the internet at reasonable speeds and reliability, with the internet timing out more often than not. A laptop directly connected to the router via wired or wireless achieves broadband speed tests of at least 5 Mbps which leads me to suspect a problem with the homeplug setup.
I've tested the plugs and they seem fine, but with the homeplug network informer app running, it reports connection rates no greater than 1Mbps, even with the Homeplug device plugged in to a completely different mains socket.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I'm suddenly experiencing problems when nothing about my setup has changed, same equipment etc?
TIA
Johno
