I downloaded the recommended version of the Zyxel utility and installed it on my computer running the latest Windows 10 but it doesn't work, the utility is all messed up graphically when launched and no settings can be changed, it can't even find my Powerline 1000 units even though I'm connected to the Powerline wifi when launching the utility. It's obviously useless.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I suspect my Powerline is slowing down my whole network due to going into Standby awhile after reboot, but am not sure. Is there another way to turn off Standby on these Powerline units? It's nowhere to be found in the Netgear mywifiext.net utility. I am running the latest 1.0.0.6 firmware and have the Netgear assigned a fixed IP address outside the router DHCP range.
Same issue, exactly as described by original poster. Zyxel utility does not seem to be compatible with Windows 10 - it launches but is a garbled mess. Like many previous posters, my PLW1000 seems to work fine until there's a prolonged period of nonuse, then it seems to go into standby mode, red light comes on, and my speed drops from 30-50 Mbs to about 2-3. Very difficult to reboot and "wake" it.
