XAV2101 Drops Connectivity when something else plugged into same outlet
I have 2 XAV2101's. The throughput speed on the Powerline utility is 14 mbs tops. That is disappointing, but is it unusual?
When I plug any other electrical device in an outlet on the same breaker as the XAV2101 that is connected to the router, I lose the connection to the other XAV2101 (it disappears on the powerline utility and we have no connection).
Any ideas, please?

I know this is not what you want to hear, but, your options are to get rid of the powerline network and switch to something else - or - don't plug anything else in on that circuit.
Your household wiring is designed to transmit electrical power, not data, piggybacking data on the power lines has it's challenges, the first of which is that it is extremely susceptible to electrical interference, which is what you're running into.
