Some advice please.
I was on 35-40 Mbps with BT and using one of their Mini Connector Kits they are now discontinued, it wasn't convenient to use the ethernet cable between the computer and the router (all worked well).
Now, I am with Zzoomm and am getting 150 Mbps and still using the Mini Connector Kit, when I turn the computer on in the morning all is good and getting 160 Mbps but much later in the afternoon it drops to 5-8 Mbps and the Connectors get pretty hot.
I am thinking although my computer is quite old, it's the Connectors that is the problem, can anyone please recommend come kind of powerline ethernet connectors that would sort me out.
Thanks

Alternatively, would a wifi adaptor for the PC work? Or is the house construction such that the signals poor where the PC is?0
