PLCBUS and Powerline network adapters

2 days ago i installed a 3rd Powerline network adapter.
From that moment 2 of my PLCBUS modules refuse to respond. I bought 1 of these: http://www.devolo.nl/nl_NL/produkte/dla ... us-dn.html
I bought this one because you don't loose a socket.
The other 2 adapters are also Devolo but different model.

Any ideas what i can do?

Thanks for your ideas.

I have this thing. Haven't looked at what it says in terms of signal level, most of the time i look at my charts:

They don't show strange level drops...

I think this one is meant as a noise blockade for your entire house, to keep things out...

To be honest i haven't had any time to spend on the problem. But it is to obvious that the Devolo things are the problem. Maybe a filter will help, although these adapters are very sensitive to how they are connected to the powerline.
