Hi,New owner of a freebok and its freeplugs, I cannot manage my 2 CPL devices XAV5421 adapters properly.These adapters are causing a loss of connection on the freeplugs, nothing works anymore.How to pair these 5421 by keeping the freebox + freeplugs compatibility?Thanks.

If you are talking about running two Powerline networks, then you might fund it easier to create a single network. Most modern plugs are AV standard and can work together. You need only one plug connected to the router. Then add the others in the usual way.

Freebox is the name of the modem/router provider by the internet provider free.fr in France.It supplies also 2 freeplugs which are power supply+cpl devices:200 Mbit/s Ports 1x Ethernet 100 Mbps + power supplyHomePlug AV

What are these cpl devices? (Google is no help.) A pair of powerline plugs?

Freeplugs are provided by the internet provider in addition to the modem/router:
