Homeplug problem
 

Hi guys

Been using some homeplugs for a couple of weeks now, but seem to notice that the signal deteriates to a very poor level in the evenings to around 1 to 8mbps making the internet very slow and laggy, my house is about 100 years old with quite old wiring, but i usually get about 20-30mbps max out of a possible 85mbps which is acceptable. What could be causing this? They are not plugged into any extension cables just direct wall sockets.

Thanks

Might be someone else nearby also using homeplugs. Can you change channel?

Well i know my neighbour 2 doors down has them, as I installed them for them :p: Dont thikn you can change the channel on homeplugs can you :confused:

I don't know - I've never used them.

It depends on the homeplugs really. Some that have a web interface also have a channel change facility.

Another possibility is that somebody has got a television or other appliance that's only switched on in the evening and is feeding electrical crap back into the mains.

BTW, every third house will be on the same phase.

Yeah the TV is on in the room below. :/ Throughput is up to 13mbps which is abit better.
