Where exactly do you see this message:
Looked at my powerline status and it shows "Unidentified Network No Internet" despite properties coming through like the fact it can read this is a 1 Gigabit connection. Using the network troubleshooter I found,
"Ethernet" doesn't have a valid IP configuration
In a Windows PC?

Did you ever run the network troubleshooter?

- Network Status
- Change Connection Properties
- Network Profile
- Private

Yes, the troubleshooter is how I first found the message " "ethernet" does not have a valid ip configuration"

Have you checked that you have the latest drivers for your Ethernet?
This sounds more like a Windows issue than anything to do with your Powerline devices.

If so, even more evidence of a Windows problem.
What router and/or modem sit in front of the Powerline network?
