I bought some TPlink 600 powerline adapters and they arrived today. I've set it all up and they are connected but no internet service is available. I've gone into my router settings and it even says my pc is connected to it, my pc says its  connected but I cant access the internet. I've looked all over the internet but it cant find anything. Help?

Edit: The pc is coming up as "unknown device LAN2"

Perhaps plug it into another port on the router? If the PC is connected to the router then I don't think the powerline adapters are the problem, it is more likely to be the router

ive tried all 5 ethernet ports on the router none of them work with the adapter. its  abrand new router so i dont know why there would be an issue with it

Need some history... how long have you had the router? how long have you had the PC? do they work properly, connecting to the internet when connected directly to the router?

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
