PLW1000 turns on lamp

When I plug in and power up the PLW1000 it triggers the touch lamp that's on the same circuit.

Here's what I know and/or have tried.

  • putting a magnet clip-on thing onto the lamp's cord
  • no different circuits in the room. Just the one.
  • moved the PLW1000 to a different room (different circuit) and it works fine but range is not as good.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks

  • That's pretty wild!  Have you tried calling the lamp manufacturer to see how their touch system works?  It's probably going to be easier to figure out how the lamp is getting triggered vs how the netgear is triggering the lamp.

      No, haven't contacted the manufacturer. It's pretty old so I don't even know who makes it to be honest with you.

        I remember when Sears used to make these back in the day.  You may have to research how they work and then figure it out on your own as I highly doubt anyone exists that knows the technology of both powerline and the lamp.
