- A: AnswerJust get the adapter. The range extender splits your signal. It's a waste of time money and will just frustrate you more. The adapter is an answer to your prayers. Just make sure plug both ends into wall socket NOT surge protector. Hope this helps.

Answered by Pat1
- A: AnswerMost homes have two phase wiring. If they are on the same phase, you will get the best results. You don't want to plug into surge strips, extensions, UPS devices, etc. If you have them on separate phases, they still may work but at reduced transfer rates. From Netgear: Can powerline be used in homes across multiple phases? Yes, but you will either suffer a noticeable loss in performance, or if the signal is too low the units will not be able to communicate.

- A: AnswerHello Terry, the red blinking light means that there is something interfering with the communication between your 2 devices. There may be something like a surge protector or some other device with a motor in the near by area. The devices should be plugged into wall outlets, but in my case I didn't have a wall outlet close enough to my router, so I had to plug the device into the surge protector. It still works fine, but I believe mine blinks from green to red because I have one of them plugged into the surge protector. The red color indicates that the link rate at is < 50 mb/s or less, and when it is green, the link rate is > 80 mb/s . As I previously mentioned, the blinking red light has not negatively affected my streaming TV service, but you may be able to try moving your device to a different outlet and see if the red blinking light can be eliminated. Good luck
