Powerline HDX Internet Just Stopped Working
Mac osx 10.12.6 Router Netgear N600 WNDR34500 I have a direct line from the router to my Mac, but I use my powerline for my home theater system in the other room via converted router to switch. I also have a single block XAV 101v2 which I picked up at a thrift shop that works, but I havent been using it. I've check pretty much everything I need to check to see if the rest of the system works and it does, but I only get the power and the ethernet lights to work on the blocks. Checked, cables, outlets from different room. The only thing I cant check is where I put in the original line to the wall from the router. Any suggestions? I went to work yesterday and everything worked fine, but when I came home the blocks werent working.Cannot reset the wifi settings
I seemed to have lost the wifi extension from my AV200 powerline adapter. I have reset it (and the initial unit) and checked their encryption but using the Powerline Utility I keep getting a message that says 'wifi setting failed' when I try to complete that action. Any clues would be fab - all lights are opn and the utility says that the connections are good ???Powerline PLW 1000 clone router?
Maybe I am not using the correct term here, but my intention when I bought this was to have essentially an extension of my router to the other side of my apartment. My issue I have right now using the powerline is since it creates its own wifi signal, everytime I switch where I am located my phone will stay connected to where I was before, so then I have to go to my settings and change my phone so it is connected to my Powerline (or router, depending on the room). For instance, I can be in room A on one side of the apartment and be connected to the router with a solid connection with WIFI_A. However when I leave that room and go to the opposite side of my apartment my phone remains connected to WIFI_A and I have to manually switch it to the Powerline adapter's wifi, WIFI_B. Is there a way to use the PLW1000 so that it is the SAME as my router, meaning I can go from one room to another to where the other device is located and stay connected to the same network and not have to change it? Meaning I can connect to WIFI_A and have that signal be both from the router AND powerline? Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -AndyOrbi + Powerline on one mesh?
I plan to use a 2x Orbi system in my house; there is lots of roaming in the house so the mesh system allowing for devices to seamlessly pass between the two Orbi's will be a big bonus. I live on a farm and we also have an area around the farm sheds not too far from the house where we'd like good WiFi coverage. There is a powerline between the hosue and the sheds so I can use a powerline connector, but we also get very bad WiFi coverage from the house AP's (sometimes) to the shed area, so the problem is that if I wander down to the shed with my phone, even though there's a good strong AP down there my phone remains connected to the house AP. So the question is: is there a way to extend an Orbi mesh through a powerline connector so I can have seamless handover in the shed area?
