Hi,
I am having trouble with my internet. In the house we have 2 desktops and a laptop all conected by ethernet cables connected to solwise homeplugs such as this one - www.solwise.co.uk/net-powerline-plv-200av-piggy.htm There is also one of these connected to the router (a talk talk fibre one) so (simply put) the internet is transfered through the wires around the house.
the issue i am having is that my speeds (on one of the desktops) are a fraction of that of the other 2 pc's - both maintaining at least 40mbps at peak times and around 60 mbps at non peak times. My speeds are fine at non peak times ~ 50mbps but at peak times I get less than 10mbps on a good day - certainly no more than 15.
I should say at this point that my pc is slightly further away from the router ( a room away - the laptop and other desktop are in 1 room) and backs onto our neighbours house (semi detached). could this be causing interference? plus I have scanned my pc for viruses/malware etc with bitdefender plus one from the internet.
I noticed that it was especially slow when I kept crashing out of civ v games online, obviously the other players were less than happy (we tend to play at just after peak times - 7pm-10pm)
I have tried switching plugss,
connecting directly to the router (all fine)
reinstalling drivers
ccleaning (which i do regualrly)
using alternative browsers - opera chrome safari etc
etc etc
my ethernet port is the realtek one on my motherboard (h87m-hd3) and we are all running windows 8.1
I am wondering if there was a solution for this? or an explanation
thanks
