Hello!
My powerline adapter seems to be having some issues with the stability of the connection.
When regularly browsing the internet I didn't really notice anything weird going on, but when I set up my computer and tried to play a multiplayer game, I noticed that every so often I would have severe and complete packet loss for about a second or so.
Pinging 192.168.1.1. through CMD revealed the following:

Two timed out requests, which I have bolded.
Is my adapter faulty? Should I RMA it or is there a fix for this issue that I wasn't able to find on my own.
The powerline adapter is my only option for connecting this computer to the internet as WiFi is notoriously unstable and the router is downstairs in the living room, while my PC is on a higher floor.
Thank you!
