Wired connection drops briefly after heavy bandwidth use

[jordandunstall]

Hello all,

Basically I have a wired connection, connected via powerlan adapters and the internet is slightly unstable. It will drop connection after around 15 minutes of multiplayer gaming as an example, as a result I'll have to disable then re-enable my networking for it to come back.

It does not seem to drop with light internet usage (browsing, watching videos).

Probably should note this doesn't happen on Windows.

Any ideas what this could be?
