Question Powerline Ethernet Adaptor Issue

Guys can someone shed some light on this one for me please,

I've just installed BT Vision which requires fitting a pair of Powerline Ethernet Adaptors, this allows you to network via the electric cables in the house

Anyway all is working well on the TV what a great bit of kit but since getting this running my wireless Logitech Keyboard and Mouse has stopped working ?? I read something the other day about this problem it appears to be a side issue around this type of instal but for some reason I can't find the info I need tonight through Google.... anyone able to shed some light on this one ?

PS before you ask this is my old wired keyboard

Cheers
Simon

I *know* this sounds daft , but after scrabbling about for a wired keyboard on friday night as mine had 'mysteriously' stopped working .... have you tried new batteries ?...

Oh I've been there and done that in the past Steve I changed batteries in both mouse and keyboard so all is well there.... just tried a fresh re boot today but still no joy, from bits I managed to find on the net it may be that the powerline adaptor is to close to my PC desk.
I'm going to give BT a call and see if they can advise, I'll keep you updated in case this helps anyone else.

That did not take to long at all thank goodness BT new nothing about it but did advise setting the keyboard and mouse back up which I did and they fired back into life.... most odd really as I've never had any issuse in the time I've had them on which is a couple of years now, the only thing was setting this vision box up so if that initially helped them loose connectivity who knows ? anyway all is well and a basic fix.... one to remember maybe.

Cheers.... Simon
