My house has most sockets on one ring main, but I've had an extra socket added using a previously unused 16A breaker. With both powerline units on the same ring I get a much better speed than having one unit on the ring main and the other on the new socket.

Have done so. New Powerline adapters should be arriving today. I take it it is better to pair them when they're next to each other rather than on different floors?

In theory it shouldn't make a difference, in practice, if the mains network is rubbish, its easier to pair them with them physically close together.

Turns out it was the RT-N66U's firmware at fault...

Went from Tomato to stock, now getting 60mbps on the Powerline adapters. Strange...

Thanks for all your help :)
