If this solution does not work, make sure that the electrical outlet is
working properly. Plug a different device into the outlet, and try to turn
it on.
You cannot connect to other computers on your local network or to the
Internet.
If you did not set up advanced security for the Powerline network, follow these
instructions:
1.
Locate the Powerline adapter connected to the computer that cannot
connect.
2.
On the left side of the adapter, use a pointed object to press and hold
the Reset button for at least ten seconds. This resets the adapter to its
factory default settings.
If you have set up advanced security for the Powerline network, check the
following:
• Make sure all adapters on the Powerline network have been configured
with the same network password. The network password must be
identical in order for them to communicate with each other. See “Setting
up advanced security” on page 6 or “Using the Utility” on page 6.
• If you are adding a new adapter to a pre-existing Powerline network with
a unique network password, follow the instructions in “Using the Utility”
on page 6.
