Cameras connected to router Via Powerline plugs Kill my internet when turned on.

Right so i have a spicy issue that i cant get my head around and i very much hope a or a multiple of beautiful souls here can help me out with! So lemme throw some deets down!

 

I have some Cameras that hook up to  my R7800 via Netgear PL1000 however the second i turn them on, my internet dies. A real nightmare im sure you can imagine! The very second i turn off the powerline plugs. Wham BALAM. Internet is silky smooth again. I drew some pictures to help you visualize the problem!  

 

Plugs on - Nets off!Plugs off - Nets on! Any help or advice you can sling my way please do so! 

Thanks!

    What cameras?

     

    Do they work when the Powerline plugs are not involved? Connected directly to the router for example?

     

    Your pictures will take time to arrive, while the admin people check that they don't show something naughty.

      Right Gotcha! Yeah they work fine withough the powerline plugs. we can veiw them on the T.V they are attached to on the otherside of the house. The plugs just connect them up to the router so we can veiw them on any device.
