Deco P9 Powerline seems intermittent.

Hello,
Apologies if this topic has been raised before, I did a little search and could not see anything so here goes...My powerline backhaul seems to be intermittent, I was wondering if others had experienced it. My P9's have the latest updates applied. I have plugged the P9's directly into a wall socket, not through any multi-plugs or surge protectors. Signal source for the subordinate P9's are the Main Deco. The PLC indicator is visible on the subordinate P9's is shown sometimes, but then randomly it appears to drop out (or at least the PLC indicator disappears in the app). I am not sure what would cause this. I have used other power line adapters with my electrical system before today and they were stable, so not convinced that it is the power system in my house that's the problem. I have tried different plug sockets as a trial to see if it stabilise the situation but no luck so far.
Any ideas would be appreciated?
Regards,
Mark
Hello,
The connections seem quite random, sometime one of the subordinate Deco's connects via powerline, sometimes the other, sometimes both. They appear to connect for a short time and then the PLC link drops out. Note, this is only mt observation from looking at the app, I am not sure what the Deco's are really doing, but I do experience dropouts and buffering especially when streaming. I have a 600mbit/s fibre connection to the internet (connected from my ISP router to the Main Deco via 1Gig ports), so internet speed should not be the problem.
I have attached the log and the picture of topology. Thanks for your help so far.
I have also taken some screen shots from the app, two with the PLC indicator showing, then seconds later, with the PLC indicator not showing.
Regards,
Mark
