I think my new powerline adapter is dead... I take it this isn't normal?

I have the exact same issue. All of the lights will go off eventually. If I leave it unplugged for a day and then hook it up again it will work for about 5-10 minutes then go out again as you describe. I checked with Netgear and they said I should return it for another one so that is what I will do.

Go to Netgear's website and download the Powerline Utility software. It can help you diagnose connection issues, and as other have suggested set them up first in one room and get them working before moving to different circuits.

I had the same problem, until I realized that the other wire was a standard cctv power wire..same as on the cameras. Just plug it into an extra adapter cable.

Hi Michelle, I have not gotten one but I believe if you get the adapter to convert the old power interface to the new it should work perfectly.

No, you need a power cable extender, amazon should have them, the adaptor is 5v.

Sounds like you might have a dud...if your outlet is on. Bad power supply or something in the charging process...

Yes - the Netgear adaptor acts like an Ethernet port, so when the power returns, the system will return to normal function.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems. My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

It's difficult to answer your question concisely without knowing your set up. I would start with: 1) unplug the unit and plug it back in 2) every once in a while an ethernet cable connector will develop a break in the wire - try a different ethernet cable 3) make sure there was/isn't an appliance, especially one that has motors and not very sensitive electronics, that was recently plugged in that could be causing interference on the power lines. For example, a vacuum cleaner or a heater. Also, I have had them go to sleep after a period of inactivity but plugging in a laptop usually wakes it up. In a few cases I've had to unplug/plug them back in. But I mainly use them for my laptop to get a better video conferencing connection. It might be a problem if this is a permanent desktop setup.

Make sure the input and output are correct. If it still doesn't work then it's the power source. Try a different outlet.

You need a 12 volt power adapter, such as a power adapter from an old router. You'll need to cut off the tip from the adapter, so you won't be able to use the adapter with the appliance it came with. This will give you two wires. Connect the red wire from this monitor to the positive wire from the adapter, and the black wire from the monitor to the negative wire from the adapter. My adapter has an output of 1A (1000mA) but others have said that 700mA is enough.

Same green line issue for me. Tried the above and it didn't work. Unplugged everything, tried new cables etc., verified I had the latest software and still no joy. Called Philips and of course they were clueless (Do you have a 1080p TV?) and unhelpful other than to steer me to service centers that when asked wouldn't service this device. If anyone actually solved this problem please post how you did it.

Check that the outlet you're plugging it into isn't flakey, but it shouldn't do that. You might need to send it back.

Did the routers die or were the power adapters to blame? I had a trusty old Linksys (now Cisco) router (BEFSX41 ver. 2) stop working after 4 years because the power adapter had degraded over time, which caused it to output an increasing voltage (over 50%). Eventually my Linksys router died due to being cooked by its own power supply! That is what a digital multimeter can show, if you have the curiosity to dig deeper. I suspect that many router deaths are attributable to poor (cheap) power adapters that should stop functioning when they output more than 20% higher than the desired voltage output.

I can't find the connection either. Checked the schematic and I did not see any socket. So I have an adapter collecting dust!

I am in agreement with Thomas. I have been fortunate I guess, mine comes on every time. I would verify your power connection and cable to ensure it is not faulty. The power input is just a mini-usb which can be an easy and cheap replacement.
