Your Powerline 600 Wi-Fi has probably obtained another IP address from your Internet box (router). Connect to the management interface of your Internet box and check the IP address assigned to your powerline (there should be a “device management” menu with the list of IP addresses assigned to all devices connected to your box). Then enter this IP address in the address bar of your Internet browser.

Can I repeat the Wi-Fi network of the Internet box with the Powerline 600 Wi-Fi? Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions

No, the Powerline 600 Wi-Fi is not a repeater, you should not try to connect it by WPS to the box, it is a Wi-Fi access point which will have another network name than the one of your internet box.

The Internet speed is much lower at the output of the powerline network compared to the speed at the output of the Internet service provider's box. Why? Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions

The data rate displayed on the Powerline 600 (as well as all Powerline 600 on the market) is the maximum data rate used for the transmission of signals on the link. The useful speed is lower than the maximum speed because the transmission of data always requires a significant use of the band, which reduces the available bandwidth.

The quality of your electrical installation can further reduce the available bandwidth and you will usually get less than 100 Mbps.

An overly extensive or old electrical installation can significantly increase the data rate loss. Potentially disruptive electrical devices left plugged in unnecessarily can also significantly increase throughput losses. (e.g., telephone charger, power transformer, etc.).

For information, to transmit an HD signal, 5 Mbps is sufficient, to transmit a UHD (4K) signal, 20 Mbps is sufficient.

How many Powerline 600 can I connect to the same network? Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions

You can have up to eight Powerline 600 in your home within the limit of a single electric meter.

Why do the Powerlines switch off on their own? Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions

This is normal, Powerline 600 automatically switch to sleep mode if no activity is detected. When a signal is detected on the Ethernet port, the Powerline 600 will turn back on.
It may take a few seconds for a Powerline 600 in standby mode to detect a new activity and turn back on.

The automatic power saving mode reduces your consumption by up to 85%.

I receive Internet via fibre, is a Powerline 600 suitable? Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions

A Powerline 600 is sufficient, but it will not allow you to benefit from all the potential speed offered by your internet service provider. If you want a powerline network that matches your fibre optic speed, you must ensure that your electrical installation complies with standards and use powerlines equipped with Gigabit ports. Powerlines 1000, 1200, 1300 or 2000 are equipped with them.

What do the icons and LEDs on the Powerline mean? Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions

Can I connect Powerlines with different brands and data rates to my network? Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions

It is possible to connect powerlines with different data rates and brands as our devices use the HomePlug AV standard which makes any device compatible no matter the brand or data rates. For instance, you can connect a powerline 600 with a powerline 500 as they have similar data rates. That is why, we strongly recommend not to connect a powerline 600 with powerline 1000 or more as the data rate will be limited to the maximum speed of the powerline 600. In addition, a Powerline 600 can be connected to powerlines 600 of different make but we cannot guarantee that it will work properly with powerlines 600 from other make, as there may be software differences.
