Netgear PL1200 Powerline Pick a Plug is red in every room except for same room
The Pick a Plug light is red any time I plug the second Powerline adapter in any other room. My house is a new construction within the past year. Is there any solution to this? I've plugged it into ro...
Yeah, it does operate, and I only get 5mbps down. They did wire it does coax everywhere, so I'm just going to try MoCA. Super disappointing with this low adapter. All of this troubleshooting is too much of a crapshoot.

If you have Ethernet everywhere, why are you using Powerline? All it does is substitute for wired Ethernet.
- I have coax everywhere... Coax != Ethernet. Also, I was not aware of MoCA tech, only Ethernet over powerline.

It seems like there is a communication breakdown here. I originally mentioned coax, and you mentioned me having Ethernet everywhere? That didn't make any sense to me.
Regardless, for anyone reading this who is running into the very finickiness of Ethernet over powerline, checkout MoCA 2.5. It has the ability in a perfect environment to handle 2.5gbps LAN traffic. I just got mine setup today and it was a breeze to setup, and works really well for my server. No more interference. ;)
