Sudden WD Livewire Problem

Okay, so I think I figured it out. Yesterday, my 3rd floor unit didn’t work properly (PLC-Link and power lights kept flashing).

 

I tried resetting the adapter, but, that didn’t work.

 

I logged in as admin, ran the WD powerline utility, went to the Privacy tab and noticed my Private Network Name was reset to default, maybe that’s what happens when you hit the reset. The next time my adapter stops working, I’m immediately going to go to the utility instead to see.

 

Anyways, after typing in the network name I assigned to my adapters, my internet connection worked again. Now, it’s faster than my 18mbps set by my ISP (it’s recorded as 21 mbps on speedtest.net). I don’t know how accurate that is, but, I’m happy with that!

 

I just wish they had a linux version since I will always have to switch to windows when there is a powerline problem. I’ll have to try this under wine.

Way to go dude

Thanks for sharing the solution
