Hi, It appears my powerline adaptor has picked up my neighbors network. Probably due to the properties being connected. A bit of googling has told me that I should be able to get back onto my own network by encrypting/securing my powerline adaptors.

Do the clients disappear when you turn off the wireless radios (wireless/professional, both/all bands)? Bill Sent from my iPhone

Hi,

I don't mean to spam the list but I'm adding details as I discover them.

So, I've just logged onto the Windows 10 pc that I have connected to my powerline adaptor. Performing an ipconfig/all I can see the gateway is 192.168.0.1. From any client connecting to my SSID and attempting to browse to 192.168.1.1 they end up on the TPLink powerline adaptor web admin, and not the Asus router that the SSID is being broadcast from. Using the Windows client if I pop the gateway 192.168.0.1 in I get a Sky HUB! I don't have Sky! I am in an apartment. Is it possible that my apartment and the other apartment are sharing wiring and that's what's happening? If so, weird and how can I get off this network and just onto my own? Also, I was using this powerline adaptor two days aago and I could access my network!

Thanks all, Barry.

Hi,

To add to this. I notice that a hard drive I have connected to the router is no longer accessible on a Windows PC connected through the powerline adaptor....

Thanks for any help.

Barry

Hi all,

I have an Asus router that has the standard gateway address of 192.168.1.1. I connected a Powerline adaptor from TP Link. When I connect to the SSID being broadcast from the router and not the Powerline adaptor, and try to browse to the routers web admin I end up at the Powerline adaptor web admin using the gateway address. However, if I disconnect the Powerline adaptor the gateway address takes me to the router as expected. All network services are working as normal with or without the Powerline adaptor. What is happening and when the Powerline adaptor is connecting and apparently stealing the gateway address where is the routers gateway or rather how is it being addressed?

At first I thought the Powerline adaptor was taking over as a DHCP, but that doesn’t make sense as I haven’t configured the Powerline adaptors WIFI move, so as far as I am aware the SSID is still coming directly from the router and not the Powerline adaptor….

Hope this makes sense?

Cheers, Barry. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org
