weird problem need help!!!

Hey everyone, ive got a problem which i just dont understand and i need help

currently i have a netgear dg834gt. Wireless works flawlessly which is weird in one thing however my real prblem ,is that my wired devices such as the 2 computer in my room get frequent "pauses" when downloading, as well as only being able to download at half the speed of wireless, i have 9mb(upto 16mb Sky BB) and my laptop and my brothers and sisters can all download at }~900kb/s whilst my "wired" computer can only download at ~400kb/s sometimes 500, so in essence i get "pauses" when i say pauses i mean im downloading at 400kb/s and all of a sudden it will stop for like 3 seconds and then start, however if im logged onto the router page and refresh it will just continue without waiting 3 seconds????? and i can only download at half the speed. SO i changed it for a my old belking router which seems not to pause on the lan but still only downloads at half the speed. however i want to use the netgear as it has higher sync. It never used to do this "ive tried to netgear dg834gt's bot the same problems". so please help me sort this its a real pain.

p.s i forgot to mention wireless doesnt "pause" it works flawlessly

OO thats right i forgot to mention, that im on homeplug to my 2 pc's, but i tried to connect 1 direct to the router, DG834GT and it still got pauses but downloaded at 900kb/s so i thought the belkin doesnt pause so i swapped the router and tried again this time no pauses but onoly download at 400kb/s where as wirelss is still fine downloading at 900kb/s so im stumped

Hey wonko, thanks a lot for the advice, no it goes Router---- Homeplug------ homeplug -----switch ---- PC's, taking one of the PC's out of the equation does nothing, plugging directly in without homeplugs i.e taking my comp downstairs, does sort the problem now, but its weird as the pauses only happen on the netgear not the belkin, its probably the homeplugs that are the problem, but its only just started, should i leave the homeplugs out for a while or something????
i cant go back to using wireless and i can run a wire up my stairs and i cant take the homeplugs back its been ages .....
