Can I combine myStrom Powerline Adapters with Powerline Adapters from other manufacturers?

In principle, it should be possible, as far as those other adapters function according to the Powerline Homeplug AV Standard. We nevertheless recommend that you only use myStrom Powerline Adapters together, because we are not able to offer technical support for installations combining other than myStrom Powerline products.

Can I combine the new myStrom Powerline Adapters with the older myStrom Powerline ECO Adapters?

Absolutely.

Why do I have to plug Powerline Adapters only into wall sockets?

Powerline Adapters are sensitive to interference sources that are plugged into the electrical network at the same time. Those interferences are mainly caused by power supplies, chargers etc. If a Powerline Adapter is directly plugged into a wall socket and all other devices are then plugged into the Powerline Adapter socket, all interferences are minimised thanks to the built-in filter and the function is substantially better. For this reason, the Powerline Adapter covers all the sockets of a 3-way wall socket.

What devices can disturb the proper functioning of Powerline?

Disturbances can mainly occur if you are operating the following devices – microwave oven, hair dryer, clothes iron, drill. Those disturbances can go as far as momentarily interrupt the connection or – in case you are using Internet TV – freeze the image or the sound.

How do I use the "+" button on the device?

– Keep pressed for 10 seconds: resets to factory settings

Help for myStrom Powerline

Powerline is not working. What can I do?

The hassle-free functioning of Powerline strongly depends on the existing electrical network. In case the Adapters are not functioning please do the following – plug both Powerline Adapters into 2 wall sockets in the same room. If their LEDs light up in white, they are both working. This could mean that reason for the malfunction lies within your electrical network that might contain old fuses and phase jumps. In this case an electrician might be of help.
