    You probably saved yourself from a house fire too. Many of these cheapie mains adaptors and chargers are lethal! Good sleuthing to resolve the problem though. :)

    We had problems with our heating system several years ago that was caused by a neighbour's electronic PIR Christmas wreath ... the PSU to the wreath was the problem; any time someone approached their door the wreath would play it's music and our heating would go weird! :rotfl:

    The first one is the "European safety certificate stamp" The other means "Chinese Export".

    .. TP-Link Powerline ..

    Next time mention in your original post that you are using these. First network diagnostic when using powerline adaptors is always to remove them and replace with a cable.
