Poweline Adapters

Thanks lads. It seems one of them was closer to next doors adapters than mine. Did it in a double socket and now no issues! Much appreciated.

Ditch them and replace with hardwired ethernet.

Fix the issue permanently.. Or faff around with powerline adaptors and reset them every few weeks.

They are a non-solution to a problem.

He is right. Powerline adaptors are a very poor solution to a very common problem. It’s really not hard to run a single cable. Stick a Unifi In-wall on the end of that cable and you get two network connections and an AC access point.

And even the fastest powerlines are shockingly slow compared to a simple Cat 5e cable.

I messed around for years with bridged WiFi routers, then powerline adapters then hardwired powerline sockets and when I finally bit the bullet and put cables in, ALL my networking issues disappeared.
