11.6HomePlug AV Troubleshooting

I cannot start my power line device.

Check your power supply is working. Power line adapters operate from the power supplied by your home wiring and cannot operate without a working power supply. Remove the power line adapter from the outlet. Then connect an electrical device that you know works into the same power outlet. This checks the status of the power outlet.

I cannot access my power line network.

1Make sure that the network password is the same on all the power line adapters in your network.
