Hi! So I have a Powerline to my PC and I'm using a Fritzbox. In the app were over 50 Lan devices connected to this powerline sometimes the Number is lower. And that's of course not normal and yes I have reseted my PC and no viruses were found. I upgraded the firmware from the tp devices (powerline) but nothing changed. I didn't find anything about it online.Of course I restarted everything but without success.I checked for updates in the fritzbox app but there weren't any.If I turn the powerline off and on it works again for a while but the devices come back at some point.

Router:

•Friztbox 6660 Cable

Powerline:

•TL-PA4010P

And a repeater

•Fritzrepeater 1200 AX

Do you live in an apartment building? Normally, I would expect each apartment to be electrically isolated. You won't have total control to your network with that many neighbors. I suggest that you forget the powerline devices and stick with WiFi or Ethernet cables. If not, a neighbor might piggyback on your Internet connection unless you have a way to lock them out using the MAC address on the router.

It's not an apartment building.So there shouldn't be so many LAN devices. The number of Lan devices varies quite a bit from 4-50.

John, using the powerline as a network cable is just for convenience. I don't know why the electric circuits you use is also linked to your neighbors, but obviously, it is shared with them. There's no way to isolate them (since your powerline device doesn't provide that feature). The only thing you can do is block their MAC address, or just enable yours in your Internet router. The other thing is that all your little buddies are using part of the powerline bandwidth, so less for you. As I mentioned earlier, you would be so much better off with your own WiFi or Ethernet cables network.
