Upgrade Powerline LAN
Currently using two AV500 powerline wi-fi extenders with their base unit connected to BT Smarthub via RJ45 ethernet. Mostly this setup works well. The VDSL and main wifi network is 99.999% reliable but wi-fi conenctions made via either of the AV500 units are prone to dropping out on a regular basis. The connection always re-establishes within 2 to 3 minutes but the interruptions are a nuisance, especially when engaged in a financial transaction. If an expert would be kind enough to answer a couple of questions I'd be most grateful
1) I can see that spikes on the 230V circuit caused by appliances being switched ON and OFF might be responsible. So, is this random loss of signal a common feature with this generation of powerline LAN wi-fi stations? i.e. should I just upgrade to a later system?
2) Does any company make products combining ethernet LAN multiplexed over 230V with MESH wi-fi to give "best of both worlds" network coverage.
3) Should I forget powerline and just move straight to peer-to-peer wi-fi MESH?
Thanks in advance.
