It's worth noting that from other reports you can leave the SH3 in router mode, and just have any old network switch between the powerline adapter and the SH3.

It seems to just be a compatibility issue between the two, anything between them avoids it. You could use your asus router as a switch if you needed, turning off dhcp etc, if you want to use the SH3 as the router for whatever reason.

Just to add, it also might be worth pushing the powerline adapter manufacturer on this.

A compatibility issue between the SH3 and the powerline adapter will affect a tiny proportion of VM customers - those who use an incompatible adapter connected directly to the SH3 - and doesn't render the VM connection useless (other devices still work sir, so our broadband connection is working) so VM likely won't care.

VM have 4.6m cable customers in the UK, and there are about 27m households in the UK, so a little under 20% of the powerline adapter companies UK market can't use their product at all.
