Powerline light isnt on

The power and ethernet lights are both on at the top of my adapter however the Powerline one isn't. Every once in while it flashes green for a second or two but it still fails to provide any Internet access to my computer. I have one downstairs and one in my room. They are both acting in the same way. Help please!

Re: Powerline light isnt on

Kind of looks like you're plugged into a power strip. 

Things that cause interference with powerline devices:
surge protectors

gfci outlets

arc fault breakers

high draw appliances

bad/cheap electronics

electronics going bad

some cell phone chargers

distance

old/bad wiring. 

 

try moving them to the same room (same circuit) and remove any surge protectors/power strips. See if they connect that router. If they do, they're working fine. Its something adding interference
