the powerline adapters recognise each other ( iad to do a reset to get this done) each has a power light and a ethernet activity light , the router shows the nvr connected through these devices and shows an ip address given by dhcp, however the device isnt online so i havent found out how it got the dhcp ip address if it isnt online to the router
I will reset the powerline and reconfigure everything from scratch again, but to test all connections i have a 18 metre ethernet cable so i can connect the nvr to the router direct to ensure all is working at each end and then work on all connections between
