Using Powerline 1200 and virgin media broadband. Keep getting speed reductions
Get good speed of 100+ mbps, but it does drop to less than 50 a lot of the time. If I switch of the powerline 1200 connected to the router, and switch it back on again, I instantly go back up to 100+...
Hi RobinWorlidge,
How far is the 2nd adapter from the 1st powerline adapter? You may try relocating it to a closer location from the 1st powerline and test the connection speed.

Hi JamesGL
It is only about 15 feet away in the next room. Don't have to reboot the powerline that my pc is plugged into, just the one that the router is plugged into in the other room. Don't even have to reboot the router, just the powerline. Have tried swapping over the powerlines, but still get the same problem - have to reboot the powerline that the router is plugged into, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the powerlines?
Regards
Robin
Hi RobinWorlidge,
Can you connect the 2nd powerline same room with 1st powerline and check the connection. If still the same try replacing it if you are still within the warranty from store.

Hi James
Have tried what you suggested, with both powerlines in the same room. The same thig happens - start with a speed of 100mbs, and suddenly it will drop tp below 50. Reboot the powerline adapter plugged into the router and we go up to the 100 speed again.
Hi RobinWorlidge,
If the device is just newly purchased, try to replace it from store or contact support team.
