6. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your Powerline Wi-Fi Kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Ingen strøm/LED'er slukket:
  Ensure both adapters are securely plugged into live wall power outlets. Check the power outlet with another device to confirm it is working.
• No Powerline Connection (Power LED blinking or off):
  Make sure both adapters are on the same electrical circuit. Try plugging them into different outlets within the same circuit. Avoid power strips or surge protectors. If the issue persists, try the 'Connect & Secure' pairing process again.
• Ingen internetadgang:
  Verify that your internet router/modem is working correctly and has an active internet connection. Ensure the Ethernet cable connecting the first CPL adapter to your router is secure. Check the network settings on your connected device.
• Langsom internethastighed:
  Interference from other electrical devices (e.g., motors, chargers) can affect powerline performance. Try moving the adapters to different outlets. Ensure the adapters are not plugged into power strips. Large electrical appliances on the same circuit can also cause degradation.
• Wi-Fi Network Not Visible or Cannot Connect:
  Ensure the CPL Wi-Fi adapter is powered on and its Wi-Fi LED is active. Check the Wi-Fi SSID and password on the adapter's label. If you changed the Wi-Fi settings, ensure they are correctly entered on your device. A factory reset (refer to the adapter's specific reset button instructions) might be necessary if custom settings are causing issues.
• Connect & Secure Pairing Failure:
  Ensure you press the buttons within the specified time frame (usually 2 minutes). Try the pairing process again. If unsuccessful, a factory reset on both adapters might resolve the issue before re-pairing.
