Hi guys,

I wondered if someone can help me with this simple question.
I have 5 adapters on the powerline network which I'm setting up in the home. Having installed the powerline utility software on some of the computers, I am getting dramatically different mbps rates even though some of the systems are in the same room.

ROUTER <-- Adapter 1 <-- Adapter 2 <-- Adapter 3 <-- Adapter 4 <-- Adapter 5

With the Adapter 1 being the "master" or the adapter which is hard-wired to the router, I wondered if I have correctly paired the other adapters on my network?
Just though laziness when I introduced Adapter 4, I paired it with Adapter 3, and Adapter 5 was paired with Adapter 4 as they were close together.

Did I need to pair each adapter with the master adapter 1, or doesn't it matter?

I seem to have a rare intermittent issue at the moment where some of the PCs will lose connectivity with the network error: "limited or no connectivity" I then have to run the troubleshooter to fix the problem.

Thank you gurus for any help in advance.
