Powerline failure
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have 6 AV600 powerline adapters. This morning the powerline light went out on all units. Has the base unit failed? Two lights are on; a 10 sec press casues all three lights to flash, before settling on the two; 1 sec pairing with an extender unit results in light flashing on each, but powerline light fails to activate on extender unit.

Normally, if one Powerline adapter was broken the other five should continue working. But there could be a remote chance that one of them was broken (or maybe just hung-up) in a weird way that causes it to still transmit some signals that occupy the electrical power lines. Who knows?

Hi,
Is none of the six Powerline adapters able to successfully pair itself with any of the five other Powerline adapters?
If possible, unplug any four of the six Powerline adapters and then start the pairing procedure with just the two remaining Powerline adapters. In case it's successfull (Powerline LED is ON on both units), plug a third Powerline adapter in a wall socket and try to add it via the pairing procedure. Then continue with the next. If suddenly everything stopps working, then perhaps the Powerline adapter that was plugged in last is defective.

@woozle All 6 are operating as the same identity. Are you saying that 1 failure leads to the failure of all 6?

@woozle Well, you were right. I took them all out and re-paired them, and found the dodgy one. I have five working AV600s with a new one on the way! Thanks
