PL1200 not working correctly with pc
Recently bought 4 PL1200 and 2 have been set up in my room, one for my xbox and the other for my pc. I noticed when I tried to play an online game on my pc the pick a plug light began turning red and after I closed the game it turned back to green. I compared the same adapter on the same outlet with the same ethernet cable playing the same game and the pick a plug light stayed green. Every time the light would turn red while connected to the pc it increased my ping by major amounts and the download and upload speeds were fluctuating as well. Might I add that my brother is running the same game fine on his computer in the other room on the same model adapter. I reseted all the adapters to factory defaults and connected them all again and tested two of the four outlets in my room, but the issue wasnt fixed. Knowing nothing is wrong with the two outlets or adapters how might I fix this problem of mine?
