Ethernet connection and Freebox Pop

Solved

Hello,

I just changed my box because of fiber installation. I opted for the Freebox Pop.

There’s a small problem, my box is far from my desktop PC and since I apparently can't use the powerline adapters I bought for the V5 anymore, I can no longer use my PC.

My question is simple, is there a way to make the powerline adapters work (I heard that the Freebox Pop still uses powerline transmission)?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely

Hello.

Powerline adapters work with all routers; if yours are not working anymore, you can take this type of powerline adapter, for example, although to fully enjoy the fiber speed, it's best to use an Ethernet cable directly connected to the router.

Thank you very much for your reply, Bazfile.

However, do you have any idea how to associate the cpls with the pop box?

Whether it's the Freebox POP or another box, it's the same; it's not the box that needs to be paired, it's the powerline adapters (CPL) that need to be paired with each other, usually done via a button on the powerline adapters, so check their user manual.

Warning: the powerline adapters must be plugged directly into the wall outlet, not into a power strip; the power strip can only be used to pair them if needed.

Hello,

The Wi-Fi extenders for the Freebox Pop would probably be much more effective than powerline adapters; you can connect the extender via Ethernet to your PC.

Otherwise, powerline adapters don't pair with the box, but with each other.

And there you go....

But oh dear, those line gaps are so annoying!!

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your help, but I must be stupid because I can't manage it.

With the fiber Freebox Pop, there is no freeplug, so I'm trying to connect a power strip with the PLC and I plug in the free socket, I press the button on the PLC to pair it, and it doesn't stay fixed, so it's not paired.

Am I doing something wrong or forgetting to do something?

If you don't have powerline adapters, you need to buy some.

There is no freeplug, so I'm trying to connect a power strip with the powerline adapters.

You need to use two powerline adapters for them to pair, check the videos in my message 3.

Have you tried it with the pop repeater?

I'll receive it next week, I know it has an Ethernet port and if
I can connect to it that would be great, but I don’t know if it's meant for that.

Thanks anyway, I'll try it and let you know if it works like that.

Yes, that's made for that, among other things.

Hello;

Thank you all again, I've finally managed to pair my CPLs and it's working, at least for now.

Have a great day everyone
