Powerline 500 XAVB5201 not connecting to powerline
Today, I purchased the XAVB5201 powerline adaptor. When I plugged both AV adaptors to the router and computer, the powerline LED stayed amber green for a while before switching off. It occasionally goes amber green for a while before turning off again.
I cannot get my computer to connect to the internet using this product as the powerline connection seems to not work. I've tried factory resetting multiple times and I has not resolved my problems. I have tried the network connection to boths a Windows 10 laptop and a Macbook Air with no amount of success. One thing to note is that I live in a granny flat (separte room) away from the house that has the modem in which on AV adaptor is connected.
I would appreciate any help to get this thing working!
These things aren't always the easiest to configure.
Have you been through the steps in the Installation Guide?

Set the two plugs up side by side and then move the "mobile" one – the one not permanently connected to the modem/router – to where you want it.

Okay, so I've tried that and it seems to be working so far! I'll report back if there are any problems but at the moment I think you've solved my dilemma.
Thanks a million :)
