Hi spikerules,
Welcome to Community!
The device will go to power saving mode with the following reaons:
-The Ethernet cable is unplugged.
-The device connected through the Ethernet cable is turned off.
-The adapter is idle for 10 minutes.
Make sure than there is a computer or any device connected to the powerline during installation.

Thank you, so a ethernet cable must be attached at all times? It will not work by using just the WiFi connection?
