Unable to connect second extender Powerline WiFi 1000 - encryption key does not match
I'll try to keep this simple. I purchased 2 PowerLINE WiFi 100 Essentials Edition (model PLW1010v2), as I need to extend my network in two areas. I plugged the first one in, set it up, and it's worki...
This worked. I used the first WiFi adapter to set up the 2nd one and now have connectivity. So that is solved.
But I now have a different problem. I only have two outlets in the space I need to use it. The preferred outlet location does not seem to work. It connects, but the pick a plug light is either red or goes off completely, dropping the connection. (I imagine this is why I was having trouble connecting earlier). I then tried the other outlet (which has a GFI so I thought it may not work). It works great. However, it forces me to move all my other devices to the other outlet, with wires running across the room- not at all ideal. Sounds like an electrical issue at this point. Any advice?
