powerline 500 XAVB5221 stopped working select a plug light flashing orange / red colour
Hi all,
I have just brought another two powerlines in addition (PL1000) to the XAV5221 power lines. I unpluged the powerlines to tidy some cables and when i pluged one of the XAV5221 back in the power light is solid green the middle light is green but the select a plug light is flickering / flashing and it will not connect. the other adapter connects with the new PL1000 fine, I have changed sockets, cables, left unplugged over night and the reset button all to no avail. Is it dead or is there anything eles I can try? it did work fine before being unpluged.
Thanks ethan

You could try resetting everything to factory defaults and set up the network again.
Whatever you do, you need to introduce the new plugs to the old ones. To do that read this:

I will try that although I think my son may have already done that any other ideas would be welcome. :)
Thanks
