LEDs
The LEDs indicate activity, and can be used for troubleshooting.
LEDs Are Off When the Adapter Is Plugged In
First check to make sure that the electrical outlet has power.
If power is supplied and the LEDs stay off, someone might have used the Powerline
Utility to turn off the LEDs. Use the Powerline Utility to see if that is the case. If so,
then use the Powerline Utility to turn them back on.
Power LED
Off. Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical outlet, and that the Powerline
devices are not plugged into an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector.
Ethernet LED Does Not Blink
There is no data traffic. Make sure that:
- Your router and modem are switched on.
- The adapter’s cable is securely connected to a router LAN port.
- The PC connected directly to the router can access the Internet.
