Hello everyone,

When using my TP-Link AV500 powerline with ethernet cable, it comes up with the yellow triangle in the right corner and fails to recognise the network. I have tried all the common go to CMD commands when troubleshooting this issue including:
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

(also the netsh one but I can't quite remember the exact string)

Here are the results of the 'ipconfig /all', firstly when it is directly plugged into the router and secondly when it is plugged into the powerline and does not work:

Any help would be much appreciated :)
 
Is this something that just started happening with the hardware or this is new hardware that you are just now installing?

What are both of the adapters plugged into for power and going from where the Ethernet cable plugs in from the source to the device.

Then from the receiving device to the computer.
 
I've been using this setup for about a year and it only stopped working when I restarted my router. No hardware changes have occurred and no software as far as I can tell. I've restarted the router in the past and this has not happened either.

The adaptors are plugged into the mains sockets so there is enough energy output.
