Powerline AV200 installation issue

Hello,

I just bought a Netgear AV 200 XAVN2001 powerline adapter to extend my Wi-Fi network in my house. I have a Neufbox Evolution with 2 powerline adapters for the TV provided by SFR.
When I plug my powerline adapter into a power outlet, the Wi-Fi and power lights come on, but not the powerline (CPL) light. I have registered this powerline adapter in my box's interface, it appears, but still no recognition of the powerline network on the light.
Can you help me?

Thank you.
Configuration: Mac OS X / Safari 534.56.5

    Hello,

    You need to sync the 3 powerline adapters together because they are not the same brand.

    Unplug all your powerline adapters and get an electrical power strip.

    - Plug in one SFR powerline adapter
    - Press the sync button
    - Plug in the Netgear powerline adapter and also press the sync button
    - The two powerline adapters will then blink and sync together
    - Plug in the last SFR powerline adapter and press the sync button on both SFR powerline adapters.
    - Once all are synced, unplug each of your powerline adapters from the power strip one by one, then plug them into their locations (PC, TV ...)

    Hello,

    Thank you for your clarifications, but I just tried it, and it doesn't work!
    I plug in the SFR powerline adapter (which I unplugged from the other side, meaning the 3 cables that go to the box), and only the power light comes on, not the "powerline" or "box" lights. Whether I press the button or not doesn't change anything. And it's the same thing for the second SFR powerline adapter.
    This means that SFR powerline adapters are special; they each have 2 cables to power the box (or the decoder) and synchronize automatically when connected. But adding another powerline adapter (Netgear) is tricky!
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you have the brand of the SFR powerline adapters or a website link where I can see the specifications? To assist you better.

    I got quite annoyed with this CPL and the end of the story is that one of the cables provided with the boxes was defective...
