using 3 powerline adapters
Here is my setup.
one xe104 plugged into the router.
one xet1001 plugged in upstairs to my pc
one xet1001 plugged into Western Digital Live box
The ethernet activity light will not light up on the adapter plugged into the live box. I swapped it with the one on my pc and it works fine. It doesn't matter which outlet in the house I use...as long as that WD live box is plugged into the xet1001...it just doesn't connect to my network.
I've always had the 2 xet1001's between my router and computer...they've always worked, everything I've read says that all you need to do is plug in another one and go to add another device to the network. Am I missing something here? That 3rd one that isn't jumping on the network "sees" other powerline adapters (blue light is solid in center) Any help would be appreciated.

- oh...and I know the WD Live works on ethernet. I hooked it directly to the router and it worked fine.
