XAVB 5601 does not work
Hi, Recenty purchased two used XAVB5601/AV500 powerline. Seller says they work. All lights are burning, No problems from the outside. However...cannot get them to work.. reset them several times, ...
No errors, factory reset is done on all 4
As daft as it sounds, can you try resetting the password to HomeplugAV on the problem units using ZyXELs powerline utility? When i've had a couple of 'sticky' powerline adapters in the past using this has fixed them:
ftp://ftp.zyxel.com/PLA4201_v2/software/PLA4201%20v2_V7.0.2.14.0611.zip
I have used version 7.0.2.14.0611 before without any problems. They are my Netgear adapters in the screenshot to show that it will recognise them
The network name (NMK) is where you put HomeplugAV and then click 'Write'. Don't have any other adapters connected or switched on, just try it one at a time.
Thx for trying, but no succes
Gave all of them the name HomeplugAV individually,
Still no internet over these XAVB5601. I see them in a network between the XAVB5601 & XAVB 5602 but their not getting/receiving any internet signal.
Connected both XAVB 5601 to my router, and they will also not send the internet signal to the XAVB5602.
Any other suggestions ?
If you use the Netgear Genie app do you see them all together now as one network ?
