Powerline PLW1000 slow speed unless rebooted?
Hi guys, I've had my PLW1000 kit for over a year and has seen a total of 3 houses. The first two houses it worked great with no issues whatsoever. I've just recently moved into a new-build house ...

It feels like the kit is going into some sort of sleep mode and not really waking up. As I say, I've had the kit for over a year with no issues like this, only when I've moved into the new house has it started to happen. I've tried to update the firmware using mywifiext.net but it says I'm up to date (V1.0.0.6).
That's a strong possibility.

Many thanks for the response.
The top link you have provided, I followed that yesterday and downloaded Zyxel's utility and turned sleep mode off on both adapters. I don't want to tempt fate but I woke up this morning and the speed is as how it should be. I'll keep you posted but it looks like it's sorted :)

Well done.

Pity it takes Zyxel to mend Netgear's hardware.
