Powerline 2000 help please
I have a powerline 2000 that has been working like a champ in the same power socket for months. This morning I woke up to a red powerline light. Factory reset on the router and makes it go free for massive a minute, but it quickly goes back to red. The other two lights are and stay green. Has anyone else experienced this?

Its usually something else plugged into the power system thats causing influence.
Things that can inject interference:
devices going bad
old/bad/cheap electronics
cell phone chargers
arc fault breakers
gfci outlets
high draw appliances
Basically there's a lot of things that can inject interference.
I usually advise people to try the plugs in the same room (tends to be the same circuit). If they work on that, its usually means the plugs are fine, its something in the system.

Have you tried swapping the plugs around?
That could help you to pin it down to the plug or the location on the mains circuit.
