V
The signal on my powerline network is weak.
Your powerline adapters may be connected to electrical surge protectors. Connect them 
to standard power outlets.
Your powerline adapters may be located close to large appliances such as refrigerators or 
air-conditioners that cause interference with the powerline signal. Move the adapters 
further away from such appliances to reduce interference. 
Your powerline adapters may be placed close to electrical devices such as electrical 
insect-killers which produce radio waves. These may interfere with the powerline 
signals. Move the adapters further away from such electrical devices.
Your wiring may be old and/or low quality or with a long wiring path.
