Can't access hub over wireless network

Options

‎01-18-2012 12:00 PM

I recently moved and installed a monstercable powerline 200 network adapter to access the internet with my hub. The monster powerline adapter plugs into my lynksys wireless router elsewhere in the house.

The hub can access the net and functions properly, but I can no longer see it wirelessly on my laptop. tried the discovery software and it does not see the hub either.

I tried to ping the hub and also could not find it. All worked fine prior to the powerline adapter but but I cant run the cat5 from the router to the hub directly in the new place.

Any sugestions would be greatly apriciated.

There is chance that the powerline adapter is assigning a different IP address to the Hub, which may make it inaccessible from the laptop. You can try checking the documentation of your powerline adapter and resetting the Hub.
