Powerline conflict: AT&T BGW210 modem has "PowerLine" built in
Be aware that if you have an existing PowerLine setup and have to replace an older failed AT&T modem you may get a BGW210 from AT&T that already supports PowerLine. AT&T technician came out to re...
I cannot edit my original post so I did a reply
There is no builtin PowerLine in that AT&T modem, I was mistaken. Here is the real cause of the conflict:
The BGW210 connects to a VEN501 AT&T wireless access point "WAP" that connects to the CISCO TV adapters provided by AT&T. Those CISCO adapters are in each room that has a TV. Each of those CISCSO adapter has a single ethernet port that can provide internet access and is not just dedicated to providing uVerse TV. I connected that port into a 5 port switch that had a linux system, printer and a Samsung TV. I then connected the 5th port to the wall using the AV-200 as I thought I needed to get ethernet. I did not know the CISCO provided internet that it obtained from the VEN501 WAP.
My solution to fix the printer access is to remove the CISCO ethernet wire from the 5 port switch and put the AV-200 back onto the 16 port switch that is fed by the AT&T modem. That way all the AV200s are fed by a single one that is on the 16 port switch.
