PLW1000v2 connected but no internet connection

Devices not connecting to internet. I have checked that all the lights on the adapters are solid green and have also pressed the factory reset button. However after all that it still says there is no internet connection when I try to connect. Not sure what else I can do?

   _Which_ "Devices"?  When you do what?  Do these (unspecified)
"Devices" get IP addresses?  Are they connecting to your (unspecified)
router?  Other devices _are_ "connecting to internet"?

 

   A vague description of what does _not_ happen is less useful than a
clear description of what _does_ happen.

 

> [...] I have checked that all the lights on the adapters [...]

 

   To what, exactly, are your "the adapters" connected?  What, exactly,
is connected to what, exactly?  (Hint: If a device has different types
of ports, then "connected to device" is not enough detail.)  Is there a
router involved someplace?

 

> [...] Not sure what else I can do?

 

   Often a good start:

 

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
Look for the LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".  Further reading might
not hurt, either.

Re: PLW1000v2 connected but no internet connection

I have read the manual (doesn’t help), LED lights on both adapters are solid green (or blue), both adapters are plugged directly into wall sockets, the main adapter is connected to the main router/modem via Ethernet cable. The ISP is working normally. The wifi signal (NETGEAR_EXT) is showing up on all devices (devices being my phone and laptop...), however when I try to connect it says ‘no internet connection’. Now I’ve tried to do the factory reset on both adapters, I have changed the Ethernet cable that connects to the main router/modem, and I have plugged in both adapters next to each other. None of the above have worked. Therefore, are you going to help or continue to be a **bleep**?
