Powerline 1000 not working anymore
Hi everyone, I bought the Powerline products with 2 adapters in April and they worled really well to get internet into my guest room (via an ethernet cable). But since last night they stopped working...
Powerline is sensitive to interference.
things that can cause interference?
old/bad wiring
electronics going bad
arc fault circuits
surge protectors
gfci outlets
high draw appliances
poorly made electronics
extended runs (might be further than you think if on seperate circuits)
and even some cell phone chargers add interference
so the list of things that could cause issues. An easy (not foolproof) method to check them is to put both adapters on the same electrical circuit. Interference can still cause issues if its strong enough but with them on the same circuit it gives them the strongest connection.
If it works, the issue isn't with the powerline devices, its something injecting interference into the system.
