PLP2000 Ethernet LED solid red

What does a solid red ethernet LED mean? I currently have 3 PLP2000's that up to today have been working flawlessly for months. I wake up today and noticed all three are now giving me a solid red ethernet LED with speed slow downs.

 

Router ---⫸ PLP2000 ------- PLP2000 ----⫸ WiFi router #1

                                           | ---- PLP2000 ----⫸ WiFi router #2

 

Also, do these things have versions? What's the latest version if they do?

Model: PLP2000|Powerline 2000 + Extra Outlet

Actually, I have 4 PLP2000's:

 

Router ---⫸ PLP2000 ------- PLP2000 ----⫸ WiFi router #1

                                          | ---- PLP2000 ----⫸ WiFi router #2

                                              | ---- PLP2000 ----⫸ Computer

 

 

So, the fix for me was to unplug all the PLP2000's, then plug them back in after about a minute, starting with the one closest to the router.

 

Everybody seems happy again.

 

Cheers

From time to time, plugs seem to get lost. No connection to the router.

 

Usually it is just a case of rebooting the "host" plug, the one connected to the router.

 

First just unplug the Ethernet connection  and plug it back in. If that doesn't work, turn the plug's mains on and off.

 

With luck the rest of the Powerline network will reconnect.
