TL-PA4020PKIT with NETGEAR GS108UK 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Hi all,
I've originally been running with the following setup:
TP-Link 2 Port Powerline Adapters to my Router which worked perfectly with no problems for months.
My network has been expanded recently and my router hasn't got enough ports on it as it's only a 4 port router so I decided to get the above 'dumb' switch to enable me to expand my network. Everything works fine apart from the 2 PC's now connected via the Powerline adapters which worked before. So the setup is now:
Main CAT6 Cable from Router to Switch, 2 CAT 6 Cables to Powerline Adapter and then 1 cable to each PC (I know these aren't Gbps adapters, I will upgrade if I can resolve this problem)
I've ran a cable from the PC's directly to the Switch and it works fine with no problem. I've checked the cables which all have come back as good, the adapters are installed in the original locations. I've tried CAT5e and CAT6 cables which haven't resolved the problem.
Any help would greatly appreciated, could it be because I'm using UTP cables when I should maybe using Crossover?
Thanks,
