4.0 Frequently asked questions
Q. My network is slow and unstable, what could be the cause?
A 1. Make sure all adapters are directly connected to a wall-outlet. Use of extension
cords or multiple connector boxes can severely influence the quality of the
network. We especially discourage the use of connector boxes that are equipped
with over-voltage protection.
A 2. The signal depends on the age of the power grid in your house. The type of
current meter can also be of influence, for instance because of built-in filters.
A 3. If your house or office has three power phases the reception between the three
different phases may be rather weak. In most situations the communication
between the phases will be no problem. A three phase network can be
recognized by the three main switches in the meter cupboard.
