Playstation Knocks off Powerline
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a 4220 kit with one side connected to my router downstairs and the extender upstairs. The wifi works fine from the adapter upstairs using my Mac. However, attempting to connect my PS4 disconnects the PowerLine and causes only the top light to be lit. If I disconnect the Playstation from the network everything is fine again, and the second I try to connect it, using either WiFi or Ethernet cable, it disconnects.
I have no idea what the issue could be
EDIT: Some additional information I just realised - running a speed test also disconnects the PowerLine adapter. If I go to speedtest.net and run a test it the 4th light will turn off and the internet connection will be lost. It will come back on after a minute
@HarryBelafonte Hello,
Thank you for your detailed information, you could try some suggestion here:
- Please turn off Power-saving mode on powerline devices：

- Put powerline units into the same room , and connect PS4 to it by Ethernet or WiFI and check if still the same issue?
- Try different wall sockets for powerline units, and make sure they are away from home appliances.
- Connect PS4 directly to router first and confirm PS4could work stable with router
Do you mean connecting PS4 to powerline unit by Ethernet cable or wifi, the powerline extender will only leave the top powerline Led?
When did you buy the powerline KIT and when did the issue start? What is the model of your router, and may I know your network topology, thank you.
