The powerline connection experiences significant instability during a particular moment.
The internet downtime can vary widely—sometimes it lasts hours, other times days. Your wireless hotspots and phone Wi-Fi might not be affected immediately, but they depend on the network provider and service status.
Yes, I've experienced this before. My new modem has been functioning well since the change, though I've noticed it's working perfectly fine now. It's worth noting that my router is on the upper floor and my receiver is downstairs, which might be contributing to the slow speed, but it still operates until then. It's quite strange!
I’ve attempted a solution. I assigned a fixed IP address to the receiver powerline and checked the situation. My idea is that when the IP changes (DHCP), the transmitter keeps trying to connect using the previous one, which takes time to locate the adapter again—this explains why it works tomorrow morning. I’ll update this post if it resolves the issue.
It has just occurred. It functioned previously, but now it doesn’t, and it’s not even during its usual time. This is extremely unusual, and I’m completely confused about what’s going on.
Be careful when making it fixed, as doing so might create issues if you didn’t assign that IP to the router beforehand. I gave up on static long back as it was really complicated, now I prefer using DHCP for a simpler setup.
Is the iMac connected to a properly grounded power supply? It might be if it's completely insulated, leading to noise on the Ethernet connection. Adding an unmanaged switch between the iMac and the router, or between the power line and the router, could reduce interference.
