I've been using a tp-link av 500 https://www.tp-link.com/sa/home-networking/powerline/tl-wpa4220/ and i've not had any issues with it apart from being pretty slow (using LAN).

I wanted to up the speed so I bought the devolo magic 2 wifi,  now it's the same setup as before but now the devolo power adapters are in.

 

This is a ping to my lan adapter connected to the router from my pc:

As you can see i suddenly get request timeouts, also my ping go for 1ms a few times and then 30ms a few times and then it switches.

 

I don't know what to do since it's literally the same setup with a theoretically better powerline adapter but now i have disconnects in my games :/

 

I do have possibnle options for it like this but can't find where to use what.

Thanks in advance guys!

Those options I believe are for if your broadband is VDSL based so that it doesn't use the same frequencies and interfere.

After a reboot of the devices, my ping does not switch as in the previous post for awhile:

Any idea as to why the reboot fixes that but after awhile it becomes unstable again? (6-7 low ping packets, 6-7 higher ping packets)
