Hi PF-Keirtt,
To properly isolate the problem, you can try removing the PL1200 from your network and if possible connect all the devices to your gateway. We just have to verify if it is the PL1200 since the communication between the two powerlines are just for local and should not affect the your bandwidth.
Hi PF-Keirtt,
We’d greatly appreciate hearing your feedback letting us know if you need further assistance.
James,
Thanks for the reply. It has taken me a little longer than expected to get the CAT5 cable that I need. I'm having to run an extended line from upstairs to the gateway downstairs.

That is why I always prefer eth cable over PLC/WIFI!
