Hi

I've recently returned to VM after a year with Sky Broadband. My problem is the homeplugs (Trednet 200mbps) which worked fine with Sky are now causing me a headache with the superhub (50mb).

I use the homeplug on the PS3 (on another floor) so I get a hard wired connection because its better than using WIFI. The problem is whenever I'm gaming online the rest of the network slows to a absolute crawl for other devices..its like it times out and you can't even connect to the net on other devices. The conflict occurs on the 2GHZ connection not 5GHZ. Devices that connect to 5GHZ work OK just those on 2GHZ which the PS3 uses.

I'm just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience. I'm going to try the laptop with the homeplugs and see if the network slows down with it. Maybe the superhub just doesn't like the brand of homeplug. I could buy some Netgear ones so they're the same brand as the hub but want some idea of what's causing the conflict before I do.

Any tips or similar experiences?

Thanks.
