Powerline PLW 1000 Extender not connecting to router/network
My extender network has suddenly stopped being available to connect to, and the password is no longer being recognised (even though it hasn't been changed). I have reset to factory settings and although still connected to the same powerpoint it's not showing a solid green light for the powerline connection. Why? Would this relate to us having changed out router and modem? If so, what do I need to do to reconnect to the new main router network?

What does your _other_ Powerline module do?

Here's a radical concept which works for some people:
