Linky CPL interference?

Valentin -  
 Valentin -
Hello,
I have been using Netgear PLP2000 powerline adapters for several months, but I am noticing malfunctions that do not occur when I am connected via Ethernet. Since the Linky meters also use powerline communication, is it possible that there are interferences between the Linky meter and my powerline adapters? I should mention that the meter reading every half hour on my Linky is activated. Thank you.

    Hello,
    the frequencies of ENEDIS for Linky are very different from those of powerline modems; otherwise, it would rather be them that would be disrupted by powerline modems since they have a much wider spectrum.
    Linky powerline frequencies are below 100 kHz, while domestic powerline modems go up to several tens of MHz, up to the limit of the FM band.
    Domestic powerline devices are often disrupted by the switching power supplies of small chargers; it's best to avoid having them nearby, but they are generally sensitive to many disruptors.

    Hi,

    Unlikely. Since Linky transmits the PLC outside, while your PLC devices are inside the "local" network...

    However, many other devices can draw power from the PLC. Moreover, you don't specify what kind of "malfunction" you are encountering...

    Thank you for your response. When I talk about dysfunction, I mean the ping going from 9ms to 500ms for no reason. What devices can cause issues? TV, microwave?

      TV, fridge, freezer, vacuum cleaner, washing machine, dryer, oven, microwave, lawn mower, water heater, etc.

      Basically, any electrical equipment that may have a power loss, that doesn't have a properly wired plug or anything like that. Overall, it's hard to find a culprit. That's why we always say that Powerline is a supplementary solution and that it's better to prioritize cable.
