Hi
I have been using a Devolo powerline system for internet access from my PC (top floor) to my lounge (ground floor) without a problem for a few years. I have just installed the new Virgin Media Tivo 6 box that also requires a powerline system. VM provided a Netgear powerline system with the package in order to get the best from the Tivo 6 box. However, although the Netgear is up and running well, the Devolo keeps dropping out. Could this be a clash betwen the two systems. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

Powerline systems are usually compatible with other makes - I have some 7dayshop adapters and some TP-LINK all connected together. It sounds like you have your adapters set up as 2 systems Have you tried linking them as one system?

Hi bhg
In a word - no. I do have the set up as two systems - how easy is it to link them as one system ? Thanks for your prompt answer by the way !!

You have instructions telling you how to "link" two adapters. You simply use the same instructions to link the new ones to the old ones or vice versa). In other words, power off both adapters on one pairing and then link them, one by one, to the other pair. It usually involves pushing a button on one of the live pair and then powering on one of the new ones within a short time, or some similar action. The old one sends out a signal, the new one spots it and thinks it's its mum calling and connects to it. Repeat for the other new one.
