PL1000 Pick-A-Plug LED off throughout the house
Title. My PC and router are connected to ethernet cables connected to the PL1000. Last night, suddenly, both stopped functioning and the Pick-A-Plug light has gone off on both. What can I do to fix this? I have tried factory resetting and changing the location of the plug.

do the plugs work in the same room?
Reason I ask is many things interfer with powerline. A device going bad can inject a lot of interference in the powerline system.
If they're in the same room, thats where they'll get the best connection.
- ayozdobAspirantNo, however they also dont work individually. Because of the setup of the house, they cant be in the same room. They also don't work when one is disconnected.
