So recently I went ahead and bought some Powerline adapters because of the fact that my Asus PCE-N53 NIC was just not cutting it anymore and I was not getting the full speeds that I was paying for as Wifi sucks, let's be honest here.
This is the Powerline Adapters that I went and got:
Affordable, look nice and rather small too.

I searched around and they seemed to do the job rather well, so I thought nothing of it and bought them immediately.
They arrived and for the first 2-3 days, they were okay, giving my my full speeds (70-75Mb / 18Mb), so all was well, but recently, there has been strange occurrences happening surrounding the Powerline adapters.
Randomly, they will just disconnect and if I try my wi-fi connection, the internet will still be up and running and the Ethernet will not come back on for a good 30 seconds - 1 minute later.
I had to go downstairs and manually reset them this morning as I was having some internet troubles, but that was more of a problem downstairs, so they're not really at fault for that but yeah, it seems like they're not as stable as I hoped. Is this because of the fact that they are suffering from interference also, maybe wall socket interference or what?
Should I buy some better ones that aren't as cheap, what exactly is going on? any clues?
