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

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.

Re: Homeplug problem

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.
