Improved connection and speed but there has been a need to reboot and there is a concern that one of my laptops failed with a power issue on the second day of using the homeplugs.

The 500Mbps pass through homeplugs have improved performance. They have also increased the reliability of my network connection that had previously dropped on several occasions a day. I have only had them for about a week and have to reboot them a couple of times having seen all three light flashing amber every 10 seconds that caused some sort of delay in the traffic when conferencing. I also have a concern that one of my laptops failed with a power issue on the second day of using the homeplugs and would then not fully boot up. I have since purchaces a relpacement laptop. I hope that this is coincidential and not something that is known to have an increased chance of happening when using such devices.

Hi,

Making a Lan connection to a computer would not cause a fail of the power system, Computers do just die eventually, Sadly.
Its usually the power supply or the battery on a laptop, sometimes also the power connector.
Have you had someone look at it, may be recoverable for not too much money?
