    Does this mean that the other 2 are encrypted? Can you remember how I remove this?
    Well, is it possible you made any changes to the Privacy settings? If so, see if it's possible to reset this. I only had problems with mine because I setup the privacy, and it was a wee bit complicated to synchronise it across all plugs.

    Do you have the manual in PDF format?
    Of course, I may just be talking b****cks!

    Are they all plugged in directly to the wall sockets, and not on trailing extension leads or surge protectors?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • 1 - large button, where? Thx.
    2 - yes, i messed with privacy settings. PDF now open.
    3 - all direct into wall sockets.

    Thanks.

    OK, that's likely the cause then, but shouldn't be too difficult to reset.

    I'm happy to advise if you send me the PDF.

    Just had a look at my homeplug software.... thinking about it, these devices are all compatible to the same standard, so should work similar to yours.

    Anyway, I have a tab for privacy, that includes a button called "Use Default (public)". Click that to disable privacy for the network. Next, I have a button that places all connected homeplugs onto this public network ("Set All Devices"). Click that, then test.
    Of course, I may just be talking b****cks!

    Probably different versions then - mine are 200AVs like this with white button below the lights http://www.solwise.co.uk/net-powerline-av-push-piggy.htm (the ones without the mains socket also have the large button on the front).
  • Plugged all 4 plugs in, reset the modem with a sharp pencil, jobs a good 'un. All working. I forgot/lied earlier, 1 x plug was via plug extension instead of direct into socket. :D

    2 x happy daughters. :T

    Thanks to all who posted and Happy New Year to you all. Have a great time.
