New property, homeplugs dropping connection

nichorob · 4 Apr 2016 at 19:14

Just moved into a new property and my old homeplugs; Solwise AV500 passthroughs drop the connection to my PC every 2-3 hours at random. The connection isn't dropping at the router, all other wireless devices work fine and I know the homeplugs are ok because they worked fine at my old property so I can assume the wireing is at fault? Is there anything I can do or do I need a rewire to solve?

I have the same issue. I have been using 85mb solwise plugs forever with not one single drop. When i got infinity I upgraded the plugs to first devolo 650+ then 1200's and both do the same as you describe. The wifi is fine they just drop and reconnect, they are fine with one connection, as soon as I put more than one wired connection through them they drop.

I have given up tbh and will get quotes to run cable.

I wonder what bledd will have to say

As you've said, it's down to the wiring really.

Welcome to homeplugs, you don't need a rewire, you need cat5e installed.

Hi Caged ;D
