Initially, I did have 2 separate networks (one for my brother and one for myself). However, I realised it was causing me packet loss and ping spikes (in fact, similar symptoms to now) so I just created one network.

Cheers, I've been looking for an answer to this for a while. Our current network is actually 2 AV500 nodes and 2 AV600 nodes. I'm going to replace them with AV1000 or AV1300 nodes in a week's time and give those a go - if there's no improvements I'll return them.

The thing is, this never used to happen. It also doesn't happen when I watch a video or a stream. Our house was built in 2017, I seriously doubt the wiring is the problem. If powerline bandwidth is a problem, will a newer powerline model fix this? I'm using AV600 plugs.

Everything you mentioned is irrelevant to my case. My powerlines work flawlessly when my brother isn't watching a video or downloading or something, but as soon as he does, I get ping spikes. Once he stops, the issue disappears.

This isn't an issue with powerline reliability. I don't need to know that powerlines are less than ideal - I know, I wouldn't use them if I had another choice. So, my powerline adapters work perfectly, I have 0 complaints with them generally. My network consists of 4 nodes. One for the router...
