Additional Powerline Adapters can't access internet.
Hi, I have recently purchased a new Netgear router (the R7000-100UK), turned my Virgin Media Superhub into modem only mode, and using two fairly old Netgear powerline adapters I already owned (fo...
Hi,
Changed my R7000 to Access Point mode, and took my SuperHub out of Modem only mode (but making sure the SuperHubs wireless stuff was turned off). Then made sure I didn't use any Yellow Ethernet ports when wiring up my home network,
It's all appears to be working so I'm happy that I've fixed my issue.
Thanks for all your efforts.

How are you trying to connect all your equipment? Only one cable should be coming out of the Virgin hub, connecting via the power line adapters to your R7000. This is providing an Internet connection for the router. Everything else you own should connect to the R7000, either wired or wireless
Hi,
I do only have one cable connecting my Vigin Hub and R7000 (via the two power lines).
I think my problem is that this one cable is the only way my R7000 is connected to the mains network, so all other devices connected to my new power adapters can't connect to the DCHP server in my R7000 (if I understood what the Network chap at work told me correctly).
Last night I used one of the non yellow Ethernet ports at the back of the R7000 to connect to one of the new power adapters I’d plugged in my computer room (next to the existing XAV5601), I then plugged the other new power adapter in my lounge and paired the two new adapters, magically the XBox, Sky and Raspberry Pie all connected to the internet.
Going to rip it all out at the weekend and try and reconnect it a bit more efficiently, hoping it’ll still be working after I’ve done that.
