PL1000 internet drops
Hi i have the PL1000 setup for almost one year on my FritzBox 7581. Everything worked fine until two weeks ago. The internet connection drops once in a few days with the message that powerline distur...
Powerline is very sensitive to interference but I couldn't find anywhere that the fritzbox you're using has powerline built in.
So I guess I'd like more details/clarification.
1. Is the fritzbox losing internet or just the powerline setup?
2. Whats giving you the notice?
3. Are the powerline devices working?
4.The only real place the powerline and dsl have any connection at all would be the ground connection in the dsl box. You could check this.
The other though is halogen lights and flourescent lights have been known to create issues with dsl lines if the dsl wiring isn't shielded, is to close together, or just basically poorly setup. You could try rerunning your dsl line in your house with shielded cable or use a shielded ethernet wire to see if this cuts out the interference.
