Netgear PLP2000 mangement help
I am extremely frustrated. I want and need to verify they are setup securely. I cannot even find the ip to log in as my Nighthawk RS700 does not even show the power line adapters. Netgear also does no...
Frustrating is to find people are cluttering all around the community, instead of sticking with the original subject. Especially after we have answered before.
From wally brain, there exist currently some 3765 Ethernet Frame types as of writing, the most popular in use (daily for many) are Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP), Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). Does this ring a bell or show a light that there is another "life" outside of your IPv4 LAN world? For example HomePlug 1.0 or IEEE 1905.1 which might be in use by the chipset vendor.
I cannot see my two adapters listed or ip addresses for them. Running latest firmware on RS700 any advice?
Unless I'm very wrong, the PLP2000 is a pure L2 device, not getting an IP address from your router (here the RS700), so it won't become visible as a connected device.
It's a little bit different with the Powerline devices with the built-in WiFi AP (for example PLW1000) where the AP part does get an IP address by DHCP (over the powerline connection) from the connected router / DHCP server. pure powerline system, e.g. a pair (or more) PLP1000 or PLP2000 will remain invisible to the pure IP based "logic" for discovering and enumeration of connected devices.
