Netgear Powerline 1000 stops working
I have two smart TV's in my house, and I use PL1000 for both instead of cables. It has worked well for half a year, but during the past month I had 2-3 times suddenly no more internet. I tried to tak...
Both are going down at the same time?
Many things can impact powerline devices because they suffer from interference from other electrical devices.
Any device that injects interference into the powerline system can cause issues.
This includes:
cheap cell phone chargers
electronics going bad or cheaply made
high draw appliances
old/bad/poorly done wiring
gfci outlets
arc fault breakers
surge protectors

- Thanks a lot for the fast reply. I am not 100% sure, but think that both TV's stopped working. Well, it is an easy fix just to take out and put in place. I hope that the problem will not occur to often.
In the case of problems one often start to consider buying something better. Is the PL1000 good enough, or would you recommend a better one, maybe because of my 250 Mbps line?

Powerline will never reach those speeds anyway, and even 100 Mbps plugs should be fast enough for smart TVs.
I have used slow plugs for years on a VDSL line (max speed 60 Mbps) without problems.
