I should add that the PPPoE connection is over a VLAN. So, when connected through the Powerlines to the ISP supplied router, it's using no VLAN and static IP. When directly connected to the FTU through the Powerline adapters, the WAN is on VLAN6 and using PPPoE. I'm not familiar with VLAN frames. Could they be the cause of the bad connection? Maybe it's the VLAN frames that the Powerline adapters don't handle to well.
