POWERLINE ADAPTER NOT WORKING AND NEEDS FIRMMWARE UDPATE I CANNOT FIND IT
I have looked around and cannot find the firmware update for this model, it does not work and I cannot connect to any devices as it does not give an ethernet connection. I need to update the firmware...
just because it doesn't work doesn't mean its a firmware issue.
what are the led's on it doing?
have you tried connecting them on the same circuit?
Many things influence powerline and can make it incompatible with a home or work poorly at times. these include:
arc fault breakers
gfci outlets
surge protectors
high draw appliances
poorly made electronics
some cell phone chargers
or even electronics going bad.
old/poorly done wiring
I'd recommend hooking them on the same electrical circuit to see if they connect. Thats the easiest way to check them. It doesn't mean that they aren't working if they won't connect, it could still be the wiring/interference. But it would give you the least interference if something is injecting feedback into the powerline.
