To cut a long story short I had a pair of these. I accidently broke one. Bought another off ebay, exactly the same. The one of ebay and my current one aren't working.

Anyone have a pair of these? I can't get the middle light to light up. With my old one when all 3 lights were on it was working.

    I've got several of these, and one has given up after 2½ years (only the top light on). Suspect you'll have to buy one or two more.

    I got a few of these. All three lights come on when plugged in. When there is traffic the middle end ethernet light flashes like mad.

    They are both the same type? (85Mbps or 200Mbps). If you have one of each, they won't talk to each other.

    Always found this a useful Forum for these homeplugs:

    Have you got the utility? If so connect up a PC to the one you know is working and check to see if the other one can be detected when plugged into another plug in the same room.

    If you can see the two then possibly one or other has had a non-default password applied (ring any bells - maybe you did that) so reset them to default or set them all to a new password.

    Use the utility - it's on the privacy tab.

    Just looked at mine which are working - the utility shows the one connected to your PC at the top and any others in the box below.
