Powerline adapters crashing

[sliverstorm]

Every now and again, the powerline adapter my PC is connected to, seems to crash. I'm not sure if just the one plug or the whole network of four plugs goes down, but I do know that when I unplug it and plug it back in, my PC regains access to the network.

I have a mix, 2x Actiontec 500Mbps plugs and 2x TP-Link 200Mbps plugs.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Yes this can happen. Could be the mix of 200 and 500 Mbps adapters. Does the adapter you pull get very hot?

The older/slower D-Link pair that I use have run for 2-3 years with zero issues. But I have only those two in use.

It is definitely warm, but not any warmer than a warm wall-wart power plug
