    There should have been a CD that came with the homeplugs that had the Powerline Utility to connect the homeplugs to your network.

    Why couldn’t the Powerline device be detected?

    i managed to get it working on my dream box tp link for some weird reason its not working on another dream box i did a network test on the other dream box


    and i get error on the following error name of server comes in red for some wird reason

    hi i just done a network test ip address has come back unconfirmed on the dream box and name server has come back unconfirmed any ideas anyone

    simple... Go into config page of o2 router and give it a fixed channel number rather than auto.


    My uncle who stays in my gran house has same modem and I had nothing but bother with it untill i gave it a fixed channel number.


    when I went into the config page I seen that the modem wasnt giving the box an ip address then I give it a fixed channel rather than auto and viola it worked.

    EDIT


    but then again I was using tenda W150 wireless rather than homeplugs I find they have too much interferance with other wireless objects but thats my opinion.


    You could give the above a try and see what happens... you will also be able to see if the box has been assigned an ip address.
