Hello, I just acquired the powerline adapter to replace the Wi-Fi because it lags in online games...
I plug it in, everything is fine (no power strip, recent electrical network) The connection works very well (my Livebox is downstairs, I am upstairs) But sometimes the signal cuts out and I lose internet ;-( I paid a good price for it =
Devolo 85 mbits/s. Could the problem be that the powerline adapter for the Livebox is plugged into a double socket, you know, a socket where you plug in to have 2 places instead of one... I hope you understand ^^ thanks :)
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 3.0.5

I'm not far at all, well I plugged it in elsewhere, without the double socket, I'm going to test it on a game ;) but it looks pretty good!

Hello,
it may come from there. It is not recommended to connect it to power strips.
Finally, try it without the double socket to see if that is the issue.
Personally, I am using power strips and have no problem (but it all depends on the state of your electrical network)

I have slowdowns on my connection as well, and it's not because of having power strips! A little UP!

It's not really a power strip :S but I'll try without ^^
Thanks for answering so quickly.

Another thing, when we went to the computer store we were asked if the electrical wiring was recent, my dad said "yes, about 15 years" :S so maybe that could be the issue ;[]

Yes,
the CPL depends on the distance between the modem/router and the PC, as well as the condition of the electrical installation.
