Homeplug Broadband Setup

[Bob Haller]

wonder if GFCI breakers and arc fault breakers interfere somehow?

Here's

a link to Dish Network's networking instructions, which includes Home Plug instructions. You may want to review your setup versus it.

gfci may interfere with the homeplug technology. There are two options you have that will require some Sherlocking on your part... One would be to find 3 outlets on the same leg and adjust your setup accordingly... you can go to menu 6 1 8 on both receivers to see if they are able to communicate with each other... then menu 6 1 9 1 and press reset connection. This should pick up your homeplug devices.

The other option is to have an electrician alter the wiring at the breaker box to put all of your devices on the same leg, and follow the above steps.

Hope this helps

Have the same exact problem, viz. 722 and 722K not working with this. I have a 622 that is working fine, via its internal ethernet decoder, it is simply plugged directly into a wall socket. But I have never been able to get the 722 or 722K to work with the ethernet. I tried using a NetGear powerline adapter with ethernet cable direct to the box, no joy. And contacting DISH was a total waste of time

try plugginmg in both boxes to the same outlet or run a extension cord between them to see if it helps

wonder how much line length matters?

wires buried in walls if disected can be extremely long.

for a electrician the long way around is often far easier and cheaper than the short route.....

E mentions fluroscent lights on same circuit can cause grief. Read that somewhere

Here's the Dish Network doc.

Is the model of device that you have faster than 85Mbsp? If so it will not work with DISH Homeplug. I have ordered the POWERLINE AV ADAPTER KIT with ETHERNET SWITCH XAVB1004 – 200Mbsp, so I will have to use a cable to connect but I will have 200Mbps available to everything in my systems.

If I am going to spend the money, might as well get some for it.

Personally, I avoid the phoneline charge and long ethernet cable runs by using wireless routers in repeater mode to get coverage to my entire house, and one repeater router connected to my 722. Wireless N routers that support repeater mode have gotten pretty cheap and have great range, might check it out, can probably do it for $40-$50.

I've got a SlinkLink connected at my router and another at my 722 two levels away. I went this route to enable the Dish Sling Guide (now apparently being called "Dish Remote Access":

) and all has worked quite well. Plus I don't need a phone line connected to that 722.
