Powerline PLP1200 disconnections
I'm using a couple of PLP1200 Powerline for over a year now and it's been some time I've noticed that, during a day, they disconnet from network several time, letting my Pc without internet or LAN connection; led are green as if it is all working normally. I had to wait some time (ranging from a few to many seconds) before they automatically reconnect.
In these case, In event viewer of my Fritz!box router I can see message "The new powerline adapter ..... has been connected" repeated two times with two different mac address.
I don't think is a matter or some kind of power saving, because often I'm using PC over internet when disconnection occur.
Are they dead?

I have the same problem. I really hope there's actually a way to solve it and that it's not related to the house's wiring, because I'm probably not gonna move anytime soon, and even if I did, the probability of going somewhere with modern wiring isn't high...
P.S. My product is brand new, though. It's been having this problem since the very first day.
P.P.S. I've searched a bit and I found a couple of people saying it can be caused by overheating. My powerline isn't very hot though, but it does have a power strip plugged into the extra outlet. I'll try to plug that into another outlet and also monitor the heat.

According to me is not an issue house wiring related.....Taking a look around forum, I read about many people complaining about this identical defect.
Overheating? May be.....Then it could be a design error, it must be taken into account that the temperature of this device is subject to increases due to the electric load if it is equipped with a passing outlet.
I'm considering replacing it with something more reliable, like the powerline of the AVM....I use Fritz!box 7490 as router and access point.

I've plugged the power strip into another outlet but the problem still arises even when the device isn't hot... It happened twice in not even 2 hours. I have to just stop using it and go back to wifi...

I replaced these powerline with Fritz! Powerline 1220E, I was fed up with the continuous connection leaks.
In these few days of use I did not have any similar problem.

Yeah, I think I'll do that too. I just hope I'm still in time to send back my PLP1200s and get a refund... Probably not...

So, I bought two FRITZ! 1220Es and they work fine for me too. Unfortunately I wasn't in time to get a refund for my PLP1200s so I'll have to sell them on eBay or something...
