Powerline extender not accessing the internet

Powerline extender not accessing the internet

I have been using my PowerLINE WiFi 1000 and PW1000 extender for several years very successfully -- it provided internet access to a guest house that we had.

 

But I'm having trouble using it in the garage of our new house and can't figure out why, even though I'm getting a stronger signal. I have the PowerLine 1000 connected via ethernet to an Asus CM32/AC2600 router/modem. I have the PLW1000 slave unit in the garage. I have a blue signal for WiFi. I have a green signal for Pick-a-plug. And I have a green light on the Power. I'm able to see the network on the iPad and join the network using the default password, but the iPad gives me a message that I'm not connected to the internet. What am I forgetting to do?

Model: PLW1000|PowerLINE 1000 Wireless adapter

Oh yeah, I've tried that, too.

But I think I have a laptop to test the ethernet from the router tomorrow.

I guess i'll start with the basics here.  No airplane mode turned on the iPad correct?

Unfortunately, Airplane Mode is not turned on. 

When I was able to bring the iPad into range of the main signal, I was able to access pages without any problem.

 

I'm wondering if it's possible that something's interfering with the internet from the router, over the ethernet, to the master powerline. I have to borrow a laptop with an ethernet port to check that out.

Tried reloading the router then reloading the extender to see if a fresh set of links resolves the issue?

Power cycle them.  Start with the router, then the powerline adapaters (both sides).

If you find it to be something specific to the ipad try doing the following:

 

General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
