    Homeplug / Router Issue

    I have a pair of these, TL-PA4020PKIT, and a TP-Link TL-PA451 AV500 adapter that have been working without issue. Today I tried to connect to the internet using the computer connected to TL-PA4020P as well as the device connected to the TP-Link TL-PA451 AV500 but neither can connect to the network. My main computer connected to the router, Billion 7800DXL can connect without issue. The lights are illuminated on both the TL-PA4020PKIT adapters. I have rebooted the router and replaced the cables but still cannot connect. The lights on the router are orange for the port connected to the homeplug. Any ideas?

    Is there a quick way to check if the powerline adapters are working OK or whether the router is faulty?

    Is there a web config page for the homeplugs you can check?

    The light on the router for working port is green. I have solved the issue by resetting the adapters to factory defaults and re pairing. So far its working OK
