PLP1200 won't connect with computer any longer

[craigakard]

I have been using two Powerline 1200 adapters in my home connected to router and computer. I currently have the router connected to 1 adapter and the second adapter connected to my computer. I also have a wifi extender mid-house. I had no issue with the adapters until about 3 days ago. I had used the computer in the morning and upon returning from work I had no internet connection on my computer. I changed the plug on the router port, I have reset the adapters, unplugged the adpters, restarted everything. I still have wifi from the router and the extender but no LAN connectivity. All three lights on both adapters are green. Any ideas on why this is not working correctly.

Thank you for suggestion. Somehow the settings that control the network inside the operating system, the TCP/IP settings were corrupted. Could not get them to talk to any internet adapter so reformat and reinstall was needed.

Any way of checking that the LAN on the PC hasn't blown up?

That happened to me recently. The LAN on the motherboard failed. The lights on the back went dark. I ended up adding a new network card to the PC.

If nothing else, try a different LAN cable.
