Powerline PL1000 slow speed unless rebooted?
Powerline 1000 provides download speed of 21mbs usually, but frequently the speed decreases to 2mbs. I have to reboot the device to restore the higher rate. There is no disturbace to the home power supply during this issue.
Is this a "sleep" issue? Can it be resolved?

What does that mean?
Don't you have another Netgear plug on the network? (They come in pairs.)
Try getting in there with the TPLink plugs disconnected.
The fact that you can't control the PL1000 means that you can't get in to check its status.

Powerline PLW1000 slow speed unless rebooted? - NETGEAR Communities
I have downloaded the ZyXel utility but I am having limited success. My router feeds into the powerline through the PL1000. All feeds from the powerline and other wireless connections are made through TP Link units. The ZyXel utility can see all the TP Link units and gives me access to them, but returns NULL for the PL1000 and will not allow me to make configuration changes.
Any ideas please?
