I use three powerline adapters (two in house and one in office) to connect the house wifi to my internet connection in the [home] office. They're about 4 or five years old but the system has worked fine for quite a while.
A couple of weeks ago the data connection between the house and the office dropped to a crawl (wired internet connection still fine in office) - not stopped completely but very very very slow. I've tried swapping the adapters around to see if one is faulty but nothing helps.
As we've not changed anything can anyone suggest what's happened before I either buy new adapters or run a cable right round the outside of the house to connect the house wifi to the office switch?
has one of your neighbours recently got one as well and they are interfering with each other? If it is only poor at certain points of the day maybe there is something else 'noisy' on your power line e.g. have you recently fitted any new low energy bulbs - maybe one is misbehaving when it is on

Oh...... fitted about 50 LEDs a few weeks ago. I wonder if that's got anything to do with it? I'll try again tomorrow when the lights are all off.
If that's the problem and they are all on one power supply rather than being individual units them you may be able to fit a filter on the power supply
Dump them and get proper wired ethernet.

The Tv at one end of the house is already connected to the office switch by a cable that runs externally so I'm ready to accept that this might be the best solution - just need to get a bulk a roll of cable as it would have to go a fair way.
