26.6 HomePlug AV Troubleshooting
V I cannot start my powerline device.
Check your power supply is working. Powerline adapters operate from the power supplied by
your home wiring and cannot operate without a working power supply. Remove the powerline
adapter from the outlet. Then connect an electrical device that you know works into the same
outlet. This checks the status of the power outlet.
V The HomePlug light does not turn on.
1 Make sure that all your powerline adapters are HomePlug AV compliant. Check the
package it came in or ask your vendor. This NBG318S can not detect earlier versions of
HomePlug powerline adapters such as HomePlug 1.0 or 1.0.1. (Although they can
coexist on the same electrical wiring without interfering with each other.)
2 Check all HomePlug AV adapters on your network have the latest firmware installed.
The NBG318S cannot communicate with adapters using earlier versions of the firmware.
See the documentation for your powerline product or visit your vendors website for
more information on upgrading your HomePlug AV adapters.
3 Check the DAK password and MAC address for all powerline adapters are typed
correctly in the utility. See
Section 10.3 on page 124 for instructions on checking the
DAK and MAC address.
4 Make sure that the powerline adapters on your network are all on the same electrical
wiring. Connect another powerline adapter into an outlet close to your NBG318S’s
power outlet. They are probably now on the same electrical wiring. Check the HomePlug
light. If it now lights up your powerline adapter was probably previously on separate
electrical wiring. Ask an electrician for more information on the electrical wiring in your
building.
5 If your powerline network is using electrical wiring (not coaxial cable), check you do not
have a power meter between powerline adapters. Powerline signals cannot pass this.
V The signal on my powerline network may be weak for the following reasons.
1 Your powerline adapters may be connected to electrical surge protectors. Connect them
to standard power outlets.
2 Your powerline adapters may be located close to large appliances such as refrigerators or
air-conditioners that cause interference with the powerline signal. Move the adapters
further away from such appliances to reduce interference.
