Hi Tony3031,
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
The Pick A Plug feature lets you pick the electrical outlet with the strongest performance, indicated by the color displayed by the LED:
Red. Link rate < 50 Mbps (good).
Amber. Link rate > 50 and < 80 Mbps (better).
Green. Link rate > 80 Mbps (best).
Off. The adapter did not find any other compatible PowerLINE devices using the same encryption key.
Was there any changes on your setup? We also need to consider the number of appliances turned on.
