powerlines are helpful when ur dealing with extra hardware attached to your connection for example BT Vision, but i would just keep the old connection and troubleshoot that instead of investing in powerlines unless you don't have a choice

Are they on the same ring mains?
These things don't like jumping over a ring mains OR being plugged into a multi-gang socket. So if any of these is you....FUBAR!!!

you can configure powerlines on a gang adapter but you can't keep them that way

I wouldnt use powerlines if the internet connection has dropped in the first place...

Try removing your ethernet adapter from device manager and restarting your computer, using a normal ethernet connection

PC >> router >> wall socket :P

Just incase
