That problem was fixed with a full factory reset, but I am now facing another problem. While using my computer, the internet connection just dropped. Internet still works on other devices. I unplugged the ethernet cable from my computer and plugged it back in, unplugged the powerline box from the wall and plugged it back in, restarted my computer, factory reset both of my powerline boxes, reset my modum and still nothing.
Its not my computer thats the problem. I have plugged my laptop into the ethernet cable as well and it doesnt work.
All the lights on the powerline are lit and solid green, but its just not working.
This product has just been problem affter problem.
Im not pleased.
