First off just don't buy a Pogoplug. It simply kills the local network.
If you must have a Pogoplug because it is cheap then the very first thing you must do is activate the device. Plug it into the router and go to:
http://pogoplug.com/activate/
If your light is solid green then the device will probably activate.
I did not have any interest in backing up to the cloud, I just wanted to access an attached drive.
After activation I could see the attached drive and its files.
Despite not doing cloud backup and not transferring any file, the internet was basically unusable. Whether this was local network saturation or internet bandwidth, I have no idea. But there is scarce technical information to help even if adjustments would help. I am on a 10Meg DSL connection.
I have not idea why just having PP attached would kill the network. I glad it was cheap $24 because it is useless to me.

I just spent 5 days trying to figure out what was saturating my 18mb connection. I accidentally discovered it was only happening when my android phones wireless was enabled. I was then able to narrow it down to the Pogoplug apps backup feature. Disabling backup in Pogoplug has solved the issue.
