Powerline 1000v2 issues

Hello I’ve gotten very frustrated of the lack of info around and I’m glad I’ve found this, I’ve had my power line adapters for a couple years now and they are now having issues. The bottom light is now red and I’m super confused, why are the outlets slow now, they have been fine for a long while. I don’t know what to do!

    Visit the support pages:

    and feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Check the section in the manual Troubleshooting.

    The bottom light is probably the Pick A Plug LED. It is an indicator of the quality of the main connection  your plugs. This depends on many things, and may change because you have plugged in something that is creating interference on the mains.

     

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
