Unidentified network Ethernet Problem

[ThatGuyNamedKasper]

Hello everyone,

 

 

I recently made a post which was about my ethernet and powerline stuff. So I have fixed it so far, I have reset the powerline (connecting them together again), I've also tried connecting my laptop directly to the router via ethernet and there is internet. So now I am in my room with the powerline adapter, all 3 lights are showing that it is transferring data and so on. However in windows 10 thingy majig it is telling me there is an unidentified network via ethernet. 

 

 

Here is a picture of it: http://gyazo.com/c51af6e43dd7b766b10f117861ada9dc

 

 

I do not know what to do, so please help,

Also it says Unidentified network, no internet

Try power cycling the router (and modem if you want).

Try putting the router into modem mode. If you get the same thing then try re installing the driver for your ethernet.

Turn it off, disconnect it from power source, wait for a while then plug it back and turn it on.

To power cycle your modem:

1. Shut down your computer.
2. Unplug the cable modem from the electrical outlet.
3. Wait 10 seconds, then plug the cable modem back into the electrical outlet.
4. Unplug your router from the electrical outlet.
5. Plug your router back in.
6. Wait 30 seconds, then turn your computer back on.

Have you re installed the driver for your ethernet?

[DimasRMDO]

When you put the ethernet cable back to your PC, does it work though?

Despite "Unidentified Network"?

 

Maybe you can reinstall the driver.

Are you with Virgin media? If so put your router into modem mode.

 

also try plugging the Ethernet cable into another computer or laptop

My powerline adapter near my router has all its lights on 3 in total, however the one in my room has only two only and the last one which is off means there is no ethernet cable plugged in but i've pluged it in my laptop and its not working!!

Have you got a laptop that you can plug into the router?

Ok. It could be a problem with your adapter then. What powerline kit are you using?

[SlayerOfHellWyrm]

I saw mention of Win 10... could also just be a driver issue, given it's such a new OS there are plenty of bugs with stuff like this. That all being said, make sure you check all your cables and so on, and if you know the type of Ethernet you are using (be it straight-through, or cross-over) try the other. Sometimes, Auto-MDIX is not a thing, and using the wrong cable means things won't work.

Im using TP link AV 500 nano powerline adapter starter kit

Ok. Done a bit of browsing online for any issues with your kit.

What has came up is that your powerline kit has stability issues.

try plugging it into the same extension or socket as the router powerline. see if that works.

 

Also is the plug the receiving powerline on the same electrical circuit as the router powerline?
