I too have a pair of XAVB101's which have been working fine for over a year. I have one connected to my Virgin router box upstairs and the other connected to my laptop downstairs. About 3 weeks ago the network kept dropping and it's now got to the point that I get about 2 minutes (if I'm lucky) before I get 'No Internet Connection'.
I have tried a factory reset on both the Powerline adaptors, a factory reset on the Virgin router and a complete format / reinstall of Windows 7 on the laptop but this hasn't resolved the issue.
If I connect the laptop directly to the Virgin router it's fine and if I connect another laptop to the powerline adaptor it's fine. I currently have an old Linksys router between the Powerline adaptor and the laptop which keeps the network from dropping.
Anyone have any idea's, why when the laptop is connected directly to the Powerline adaptor, the network will drop?
