Trouble mixing with Linksys Velop
Hi
I tried using a PowerLINE adapter to extend my WiFi into my garage. The issue is that as soon as I connect the Netgear adapter into my switch, my WiFi mesh falls over. When I disconnect the adapter, it comes back to life. It doesn’t matter how I connect it, whether through the switch or through any of the child nodes, the same thing happens. Any ideas of how i can solve this? Cheers

Challenge Linksys - no idea why a simple standard powerline device connected (no other devices on that same powerline network yet, correct?) can bring down a Mesh.

Stops broadcasting? Devices can't connect?
I assume that you have looked for conflicts between Mesh channels and those on the PLW1000
