I currently have Netgear PL1000 series adaptors which are the 1Gbit ones, but I am having headaches as they seem to have a sleep mode that you can't turn off on them.

For whatever reason this means when they wake up I seem to lose internet bandwidth (goes from 35mbps to around 6mbps) and my latency goes up from 20ms~ to 150ms~.

If I simply reboot the powerline adaptor at the wall then it's all back to normal again. Checking online this seems to be quite a common problem with these devices and Netgear doesn't allow you to disable the feature.

Can anyone recommend any models that don't suffer from this problem? I need 3 in total.
 
Use the PA9020P kit here. Work great for me. One in the lounge near router, one in the back bedroom. I get about 200mbit out of my 350mbit connection, ping is barely different. Average ping to BBC is 12~14ms.
