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...

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.

I changed the network connectors so that one PL1000 put the signal from the router into the powerline and the other PL1000 fed the signal to my pc. Doing this i was able to reset the PL1000's sleep mode off.
So far since I have had no slow speed issues.
I'll mark Michael's suggestion as a solution.
Thanks.

That's how it is supposed to be. I guess your "daisy chain" confused the poor things.
Have you put it back to your original set up?
Glad it worked.
