Hi,
I have a pair of D-Link DHP-P621AV powerline adapters (http://support.dlink.ca/ProductInfo.aspx?m=DHP-P621AV) that connect a cable modem router downstairs directly to my desktop computer upstairs via ethernet.
Most of the time, the connection is fine: ping response times average around 20-25ms, and occasionally (i.e. 1 out of a 100 pings) stutter up to 300ms. Acceptable performance for a powerline adapter.
The problem is that every time I run my dishwasher (and only the dishwasher), the powerline adapter experiences frequent dropouts. I get 50% packet loss from pings and the successful pings are anywhere between 500ms and 3000ms, until the dishwasher finishes it's cycle.
Does anyone know why this might be happening, and what the easiest solution would be? All other appliances run fine, so it's something specific to the dishwasher - either the power outlet, or the appliance itself.
I know people say not to use surge protectors on Powerline Adapters, but could putting a surge protector on the dishwasher help alleviate this issue?
Any suggestions would be greatly received.
Thanks!
