Windows 10: Help needed setting up Devolo dlan 500 AV

Hi i have just setup a Devolo dlan 500 AV in my house but now i have two wireless networks in my house i am told i can get the Devolo to take the configuration of my original network so there is only one network.

I have tried following a video from Devolo and it does not work can anyone please help

:)

 

Wi-Fi problems with internal network

My installation consists of the following:

Desktop computer connected to internet router via an Ethernet cable.

Laptop connected to internet router via Wi-Fi using one of two methods:

Using the Wi-Fi broadcast from the internet router itself

Using the Wi-Fi broadcast from a dLan AV wireless which is connected to the original internet router via an Ethernet cable.

The dLan installation is a powerline unit with the sender plugged into the room where the internet router is based and the receiver/Ethernet/Wi-Fi unit plugged into a socket in the room where the laptop is used.

My backup drive is a Seagate GoFlex Home unit which is connected to the internet router via an Ethernet cable.

When my old laptop was working on Windows 7 I was able to run back up via either of my two Wi-Fi options. My new Windows 10 (home) laptop can be connected to the back up drive if I connect an Ethernet cable between the laptop and the dLan AV receiver in
the room however if I try to connect via either of the two Wi-Fi options I cannot find the backup drive nor can I create a network in order to add it.

I hope that this clarifies the problem.

Regards,

 

n82 n95 and n95 8g can support DLNA?

i know the new nseries like n78 and n96 can support the upnp and DLAN!

the n82 and n95/8g can support the upnp!

but i don;t know whether them can support the DLAN?

 

The setup on these devices are pretty straightforward. You just need to make sure that if the device does NAT, that you are not double NATing.

If you are using it as a bridge or repeater, there should be some instructions on the website for that device, or it came with a CD that has a guide in it.

There is usually a tool on the CD that you use for setting up those extenders. If they see each other and are able to get a good connection through home electric, then you just need to set up for connection to the gateway to the master through Ethernet. The other acts like a bridge that does both Wifi and Ethernet.

You need to set it up with a Static IP and turn off any DHCP IP handout.

No problem. I was trying to read the info and look at it on my phone, but could not find any online pdf. The issue that I deal with with the set of Ethernet over Power Trendnet units at my in-laws, because there was no way to pull Ethernet and I could not use a MoCA, because they have DirecTV and already have one installed. When I have checked the logs and rates when I was last there, they are high enough to give a good speed for streaming Netflix. But too low to really get anything that would allow for a good HD or HDX bitstream.

These units are more of a bandaid when you cannot pull Ethernet. If you have Coax wiring between the two points and no splitter, You can always go with MoCA's and then you do not have to worry about the headaches involved with dealing with poor electrical wiring.
