ZwocklYeah, have done it a couple of times this week and now again. Shows the same results.

I am also using these adapters connected to my router, both adapter and router are about 3 years old. Do you think they have to be replaced?

Alot of powerline adapters overheat really easily. When you have internet problems, you should feel the powerline adapter connected to your pc and see if it's really hot.

ZwocklYea sry that's what i meant. I thought that would essentially be the same thing.

Powerline adapters are garbage.

Perhaps you've added an electrically noisy appliance, or maybe a neighbor got one of those things as well and it's leaking into your powerline, or maybe you just have some random electrical interference from somewhere. There's a bunch of reasons why these things can start to suck even more than they're supposed to.

Try a real ethernet connection if you can, use 5Ghz wifi if you can't.

It's not really hot, warm at best.

ArieTry a real ethernet connection if you can, use 5Ghz wifi if you can't.

Alright, I guess I'll look into that. I can understand that powerline adapters are garbage but I know that nobody in my household would change anything considering electronics and I don't know where the sudden problems are coming from. But thank you for your time and help!

used to have similar problems, all my net problems dissapeared when i set up a actual ethernet connection instead of using a powerline adapter.
