Hello,
I have a Freebox Revolution (V6) as well as 2 CPLs that were provided with the BOX.
I also have 2 NETGEAR Powerline AV 200 CPLs that I already owned.
What I want to do:
-> Connect my computer to the BOX via cable.
What needs to be done:
A NETGEAR adapter should be added in addition to the 2 Free adapters.
(One of the 2 Free adapters is connected to the Freebox server while the other is linked to the Freebox player).
What I've tried:
When the 2 Free adapters are plugged in, it is impossible to add the 3rd NETGEAR adapter to the CPL network.
At first, I tried to synchronize the NETGEAR adapter with one of the 2 Free adapters (the one connected to the Freebox server).
After some adjustments, the 2 managed to synchronize.
But still, when I want to add a 3rd adapter (specifically the Free adapter connected to the Freebox player), one of them always fails to synchronize.
In other words, I have to choose between being connected to the Internet via cable OR watching television.
I would like to know if such an association between CPLs is possible and if so, what the procedure would be.
I have heard of the SoftPlug utility that could apparently solve my problem, but unfortunately, it refuses to execute correctly (HomePlug AV: Encryption error).
Thank you in advance
Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 26

Hello.
"What I would like to do: -> Connect my computer to the BOX with a cable."
I think not.
What you want to do is connect your desktop PC via Ethernet using powerline adapters.
Currently, the "Box Server" and the "Box Player" are connected via Ethernet using the provided "FreePlugs." This works very well, and you want to change nothing about it.
Since you have two powerline adapters (NETGEAR Powerline AV 200) at your disposal, use these two adapters to connect your desktop PC. One on the "Box Server" and the other on your PC.
Hoping that adding the NETGEAR adapters will not disrupt the operation of the "FreePlugs."
