@unclebil

Good day.

Thank you very much for your detailed information;

When you move the windows 7 PC with its power-line to the garage, the middle power-line light would still lit up and there is still internet access on this computer, right?

Have you tried to ping the IP address of other computers and servers to see what happened?

By the way, have you tried to swap the power-line adapters to see if the issue still existed?

Thank you very much.

@unclebil Hello all

Following trials and tribulations with my powerlines I managed to get them all to work albeit at around 320mps. I undertand that this can be caused by interferance opn the line.

I relocated the powerlines to different sockets in different rooms

I noticve that the powerlines not being used regularly (and have the power and the paired lights on and yellow/green) many times during the day the pairing lights go off and the powe light starts blinking.

If i unplug the powerline from the socket and plug it back in both power and pairred liges becom solid green again

I do not see evidenced and explainned in any documewntation or forum.

Is this notmal and if not Why is this happening?

this should never happen

Thnak you for responding
