Hey there, I see you're dealing with a puzzling issue that started recently. While gaming at night, your powerline adapters would disconnect and require them to be placed next to each other to connect. Even then, download and upload speeds remained poor. During the day, everything functions normally. Your older adapter also struggles to pair unless placed together. I've checked many outlets around the house, but they only work when adjacent. This has been a consistent problem for a few days now—any suggestions?

Are there other factors at play during those periods? For example, when I used to live at home, my power line adapter caused weird TV distortions upstairs, so I decided to switch to a different setup and everything improved.

No, the power consumption remained constant throughout that time, making the problem quite puzzling from the start.

They don't necessarily lose connection after pairing.

Yes, throughout the daytime they remained together without any problems. However, at night it suddenly stopped pairing, which began a few nights ago. Odd.

At night, when I arrange them together, the connection speeds drop significantly. In daylight, speeds hover near 160mbps in both directions, but during the night they fall to about 100mbps.

Are you residing in a flat? Perhaps someone nearby has an issue affecting it

I apologize for posting this, but it might be useful for someone else. I faced a similar problem with a weak network connection only at night. Because we rely on hydroelectric plants during the dry season, I thought our thermal power plants would be resting late at night, causing grid instability. Wrong turn: it was actually an air humidifier my wife turned on at night. It wasn’t power-hungry but caused a lot of interference. TL;DR—see if anything you could connect to the grid at night and remove it.
