The Technomate powerline adapter ceased functioning unexpectedly.
My 'Technomate' Powerline adaptors stopped functioning unexpectedly a few weeks back. I've been trying to fix it for some time, but nothing seems to work. It all began about a month ago when my internet speed dropped significantly—only on my PC, not the router. The issue was minor the day before, but now it completely failed. I restarted the router and tried again, yet the problem persisted and worsened until it stopped detecting anything. I connected an old USB Wi-Fi dongle to see if it would help, but I'm willing to wait. I've attempted several troubleshooting steps without success. Occasionally, my Ethernet connection works, but it displays 'no internet' or 'Unidentified Network.' When it does recognize my network, the control panel shows two errors, as shown in the attached photo. Sometimes the default gateway isn't visible either. I searched online for solutions but found nothing useful. A virus scan with Malwarebytes came back clean. Please help—slow speeds are really frustrating!
The issue with powerline might stem from software configuration or the wiring itself. It's essentially a method to tap into household electricity lines, and variations there can impact performance.
