View Full Version : I changed broadband and now i can not connect
I have just changed to EE fibre broadband.
But my solo2 is not working with LAN connection via home plugs.
My amiko mini has handled the change without a problem
When I do a network test i get
LAN adapter green
Local Connected
DHCP Disabled
IP address unconfirmed
Name server unconfirmed
If I push the blue button then I can see a IP address there 192.168.0.9
But via my mac, i can not connect to the solo2
Any ideas

Is the power line adapter plugged into an extension or the main socket
As I use them no for the sat box but they need to be each one plugged into a main socket themself

Also see if you can reset both the plugs and try again

As if one is plugged into a man socket and the other an extension then the extension won't have the power to deliver the data fully
Will show as getting power but won't fully work until it's in it's own plug socket not extension

Its definitely a powerline adapter issue. I had a similar problem at a mates house.
It's because you have DHCP disabled on your solo. It cannt automatically get new ip from your new router. Enable it then try again

Turn DHCP on, get the correct ip from the new router and that should be it
Have you manually set the IP address o f the box if so now you have a new router the local network address may have changed ie if your old system Was 192.168.0.xxx your new one may be 192.168.1.xxx if so you need to change the IP of the stb to the new address

Thank you so much, this was the problem, the ip address was totally different.
Maybe that is due to change from standard broadband to fibre

Whenever you change router, you have to double check your IP address.
Most routers allow you to reserve the IP address. This will mean that you can have the same IP address and still have the device in DHCP.

Yeah, so you did. I didn't get to reading your post. I read as far as someone telling him he needed new powerline adapters.

I used to have the same problem with network plugs. I switch the router, box and plugs of for about 10 min, switch router on and wait until all fully on, then switch network plug on and wait a minute or two and then switch box on. once all on resent network adapter, this should work, if not, go in to your router setting and locate N plugs and connect or setup from there.
