How many PCs can I connect to a Powerline network?

You need to setup all you computer network to home network not public network because in order to connect you need to have a password which you need for every system in your home. Consider which computer is your main system. Then go to control panel and select networking icon and select network status. Now click on where it says Public Network or even Home Network and re choose home network and right down the code password. Then click ok and you are set. Go to your TV and choose to setup network, then choose to detect network automatically and choose your network. Then type in your password and you are set. Try it now and you should be able to view your photos, videos and so on. Good luck and let me know you you go!!

There are two standards for powerline: HomePlug 1.0, which has a maximum link speed of 85Mbps and HomePlug AV, which has a maximum link speed of 200Mbps. You can use the two standards within the same building, but they are not compatible with each other.

HomePlug 1.0 - F5D4050, F5D4070. Powerline Turbo (F5D4071, F5D4073)

HomePlug AV - Powerline AV (F5D4072 + F5D4074 + F5D4077 + F5D4081). Powerline AV+ (F5D4075 + F5D4079) + Powerline HD (F5D4076 + F5D4078) and Powerline HD500 (F5D4085)

Reset the powerline and Try with a different network ID. Try with a secure and unsecured powerline network to see if it works that way

Is the same phase used in your office?(electrical wiring)

Your hard disk is failing and should be replaced. Have you tried to press F1 when you get the message? If this doesn't help try to enter the bios and disable S.M.A.R.T.
Your first goal is to save the data so please do that before it's too late.

Plug the PowerLine adapter into the wall
Plug one end of the ethernet cable into PowerLine wall adapter
Plug the other end of the ethernet cable into the Orange LiveBox
Plug the Orange LiveBox power adapter into the wall

1. plug out from the electricity socket and plug it in back
2. check with the electric phase because powerline adapter works only with a single phase in the house
3. a house will have different phase try connecting it in the same phase of the router.
4. or else try updating the firmware from the website for ur particular powerline adapter

Hello,
I believe you should be able to enter the configuration page of your router.

If yes, then follow these steps:
1.) When you get to the configuration page, select the place where the LAN has to be configured.
and Select the router to be DHCP, that is, to distribute IP-Adress dynamically to the network.

2.) After this, get a switch, an unmanaged switch (i.e just a normal switch), and connect your router to it using a straight-through cable, on one of the ports.
On the other ports, connect your PCs.

3.) On your PCs, go to the network adapter and right-click on it then go to properties, then inside the column, select TCP/IP Config and select the "Obtain IP Address Automatically". Do the same for the DNS Server too.

4.) Repeat the same thing for ALL other systems connected to the Switch.

5.) Now, after all these, create a network connection setup and give them all the same Workgroup.
Remember to select that "All the systems connect directly through a Switch" when you are setting it up.

6.) Next, restart your systems.

This should make your system ethernet adapter connect to your router automatically.

In case you are using Vista, what you just need to do after Step 3 is to right-click on your "my computer " icon, then properties, then Advanced System settings, Then click on Computer name, Then select Change.

On this "Change" page, you can just type the name of your workgroup and select OK, then restart your system.

Kindly keep me posted about the problem.

Hope it helps.

Goodluck

there wasn't actually any problem with the device. For these bridges to work, you need to be on the same phase of the wiring. If the devices are on different phases then they can't communicate. But I still couldn't get the encryption to work. Netgear support doesn't seemed to be bothered with that...they told me to ignore it.

We recommend that there be no more than 10 computers active on a Powerline network at one time. It is possible to have more than this, but throughput will be greatly diminished.
