What is it with me and Networking?
I always find it totally impossible to set up a computer network. This one is no exception. I have put the Netgear AV 200 Powerline device in a socket and connected it to the router, just like it says in the picture with the documentation.
I’ve installed software on my computer and can it find the device. Of course it can’t! But it was early yesterday, as I was able to print a test page. It can find the device if I put the cable in my computer rather than the modem.
So my hoodoo with hardware strikes again.
I can’t get on-line support as the serial number on the device is too small for me to read. And I can’t find one of my two magnifying glasses.

If you have a scanner, out the part of it with the serial number on the scanner, then enlarge the image until it is legible.
Or else find a helpful 10 year old who will be able to install everything without even looking at any instructions! It truly amazes me what kids can do!
When we sorted out our router we had problems, and I was hours on the telephone to the helpline.
