Powerline 2000 - All lights are green but no internet
I have a Powerline PLP2000 duo and recently added a 3rd node (PLP1000).
All 3 lights are green on all 3 devices.
2 Powerlines are communicating well (1x PLP2000, 1x PLP1000) both have access to the internet.
The 3rd node (PLP2000) shows full connection (3 green lights) but has no internet connection. I have changed a number of data cables but still no internet.
Any ideas?

Have you tried swapping the plugs around?
That would help to work out if it is a plug or socket issue.
Another test is to put the PLP2000 alongside the router. If t works there, then it should work elsewhere. If not, I'd suspect the mains wiring.
Hi Michael
I have tried swapping around but not putting the PLP2000 in line. I will try that.
The thing is, it used to work before I added the 3rd node?!
furthermore I am not sure why I have 3 green lights on all nodes?

All three LEDs on all plugs tells you that all plugs have the mains on (one LED), they are all communicating with each other at top speed (second LED) and there is something plugged into the LAN plug.
You said earlier:
"The 3rd node (PLP2000) shows full connection (3 green lights) but has no internet connection."
What says "no internet connection"? The plugs may be doing exactly what they arte designed to do, but the device connected to that plug is misbehaving. We cant tell what that might be without more information.
What is connected to that plug? And what happens when you try to use it?
