PLW1000 disconnecting and being very slow.
So I have an extender at the router and one in my room connected to my pc. I went on a week long holiday and I come back to find that it is now barley working. There is now red lights on both of them...

Okay so I have brought the second extender down stairs and now they the Pick a plug for both of them is Saffron and on the google spped test reaching about 50 mb/ps. So does this mean it is the noise that is the problem?

more than likely something is adding interference then.

You can try troubleshooting to see whats causing it.
I've went around and unplugged everything and then slowly added devices while testing speeds.
You don't have to do it one at a time. You can unplug everything and plug in 3-5 devices at a time and then test. If it drops, its something from that group.

There really isn't a whole lot plugged in, I went around and took out what I could, but there hasn't been any increase in performance and the Pick a plug is still red
