good morning, I purchased the PLW-1000 powerline + Wifi to extend the network in a basement and connect two smart security cameras. If just one among the 2 cameras + PC + Phones are connected to Wi...

hello,
I did some extensive testing this evening and the issue is definitely on the WiFi access point device that starts crashing/rebooting again and again from the moment I connect two security cameras. One WiFi camera works with PC, Phone etc connected to the WiFi, no matter which camera I use - two WiFi cameras of the same model/vendor with distinct names/MAC/IP etc... induce the WiFi device of the powerline to crash and reboot continuously one are both connected.
I say is the WiFi device because the other device of the powerline can be disconnected from the wall socket - Pick A Plug led OFF on the WiFi one - then an ethernet cable can be connected to the WiFI device which acts as an access point for the wireless devices. Again any WiFi camera works perfectly, and once I connect both cameras the WiFi device of the powerline never ends crashing and rebooting.
Once the crash happens first the Pick A Plug led turns OFF, then after a few seconds is the WiFi led to turn OFF... in about a minute the device reboots and the process restarts. by using the WiFi device as an access point the Pick A Plug led is already OFF, after a while the WiFi led turns off and the device restarts, same duration.
thanks a lot
Felice
