AV 500 and PLP 1000 compatible or not compatible ?
Note : it is not possible to select the PLP1000 model in the box here above Hello, I have bought a pair of PLP1000-100FRS powerline adapters. I aleary have a powerline nerwork with three AV5...
I have exchanged the CPL1000 for CPL12000.
CPL1200 works.
CPL1000 is definitly not backward compatible.
Yes the PLP1200 is backwards compatible with any Homeplug AV unit. Have you made sure the password ('Key') is the same for all units? For example if you changed these for your AV500 units the PLP1200 unit may still have the default 'HomePlugAV' key. Otherwise they will not talk to each other
Apologies I referenced the PLP1200. The PLP1000 is compatible as well
Hello,
As I said I have reset all devices to the factor default. All pluged in AV500 show a green "Pick A Plug" light. Adding a PLP1000 keep the AV500 green but the PLP100 show a red Pick A Plug light.
Do I need to update the AV500 ? I bought it more than 7 years ago.
When adding new plugs to an existing Powerline network, it is important to follow these instructions:
>>> Adding a powerline adapter to an existing powerline network <<<
It is usually easier to do all this with thee plugs near to each other. Then you can move the plugs to their intended location. They will remember their settings.
Remember, adding fast plugs to slow plugs will mean that the network operates at the speed of the slowest plugs on the network.
Hello,
Thank you for all information. I fell I did all what is recommended.
Would you look at the story "Plugging a new PLP1000 onto an AV500 existing network.pdf" which explains, step by step, what I did.
