Tried multiple outlets. Still get the red light when streaming. Oncre the stream stops or I exit the stream app the light goes green.

When you do normal use of internet like browsing websites, does the light turns amber? I think the reason for that because the powerline cannot handle the data when streaming.Regads,

When browsing the internet the LED stays green. Only when I stream video does it turn red. Do I have a way of adressing this issue?
