powerline 1000 ethernet connection suddenly can't get a network signal
So everything was working great...until it wasn't. I have four units plugged in to the mains in various locations. Suddenly, I can't get a network signal on my smart TV. I have changed nothing in ...
Yes, this is the last unit added to the network. However, it is only a few months "younger" than the original two units. Additionally, it had been working fine for more than a year before I encountered the issue to which I referred in my original post.
Not a question of the age ... more a question on the network structure and connection of all the devices. Adding a random NAT router like the eero is a recipe for a nightmare, or at least to something causing unwanted network segregation.
Difficult, because you seem to navigate around instead of bringing the complete network design and implementation on the table. Impossible to help, frustrating for everyone trying to help.
Perhaps I could be more responsive if I understood what you mean by "eero." I have never encountered that abbreviation in any scenario. Let me try a more detailed description. Apologies if I use non-typical terminology, as I am not tech savvy:
I am on Fios. I use one of their wifi routers, located on the second level of my home. I have an ethernet cable (hereafter, EC) running from the router to the first powerline adapter. The second adapter was installed in the basement to connect a PC. I added a second adapter in the basement to connect another PC. The fourth adapter was added last on the main floor for the purpose of connecting my TV, which, as with the two PCs, is linked to the adapter via EC.
Until about a week ago, I was not experiencing buffeting issues on the TV. Suddenly, I was experiencing occasional buffering even using the powerline system. Thereafter, the TV lost connection to the network altogether. Even so, the PCs still maintain their connections. That seems to suggest the problem either lies with the adapter itself, or perhaps the EC. I do not have a spare cable so I have not been able to swap it out. I did try changing the electrical outlet, but to no avail.
Hopefully this is sufficiently detailed to be helpful. I'll be happy to respond to additional questions. My hope for posting is to garner info on other alternative solutions beyond those I have already attempted.Thanks.
Sorry, probably I had another thread in my mind? eero is a brand with various products that allow for Wi-Fi to reach all areas of a household.

Which router?
I have an ethernet cable (hereafter, EC) running from the router to the first powerline adapter.How long is that cable? I always put my "host" plug as close as possible to the router.

These are famously bad on networks. Did you take that through its setup process?
Your PCs are on the Powerline network. They seem to be behaving normally.
That seems to suggest the problem either lies with the adapter itself, or perhaps the EC. I do not have a spare cable so I have not been able to swap it out. I did try changing the electrical outlet, but to no avail.Did you get around to swapping the TV plug with one of those on a PC? Or moving the cables around to see if one of them has gone bad?
