I've just noticed the "home" symbol on my Powerline Adapter isn't working any more and not getting connected. Any ideas?

How many you got in the house? Give them all a reset. The button is on the bottom of them.

Wonder how many powerline adaptors you can run off the HH3?
Is there a limit?

Thanks.

I don't think there is a limit for power lines. I have noticed on Netgear they say 15 for some reason but not too sure?

Its odd that all of a sudden this adapter stopped working.

I needed one more adapter http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-043-TP&groupid=46&catid=1604&subcat= and it arrived yesterday from OCUK.
When I plugged it in and tried to pair them up the new adapter wouldn't connect. Tried this for about 15mins and then noticed the home light not working on the adapter thats connected to the router.
I then replaced the adapter connected to the router with the new one i just received and all worked again except I now have one not working, the original one that was connected to the router all along.

Just wondering if its a HH3 problem?
Wonder would a new router help, say a ASUS RT-N56U

There's no reason why the router would be causing the problem.

Powerline adapters can just stop working. They do seem to be one of the less reliable pieces of networking hardware.

OK thanks, Thats a goodin.
Looks like i need to order another one then.

Got it working again, install the software cd and messed about and now the adapter is working. It might have been locked out of the network by pressing the pair button longer than 10sec, dont know but working again.

Thanks for your help.
