Powerline doesn't work online

The MAC address of 192.168.1.1 belongs to TP-Link. Is your home router also TP-link?

I'm using a TpLink N600 W8980..

That is correct.

So, if this device is on the powerline network, all is working. If it is not on the powerline network, we need the same tests run while connected to the powerline network and see where we have differences.

Yep, this is my router in my home with powerline.
Therefore is my powerline damaged?

Umby75: We need to know if your device was on the powerline network or not when you ran those tests.

Yes my pc was linked to powerline that it was connected to my home network..

OK, so that means the powerline network allows connections to the Internet. That is the good news for you.

Now we need to see what is possibly blocking that traffic. Do you know if there are any firewall settings on any device that is on your network? It is possible that the reset may have changed those values.

yes, looks okay. Next, try a DNS query against that DNS server

C:\Users\Simon>nslookup - 208.67.222.222
Default Server:  resolver1.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.222.222

> google.com
Server:  resolver1.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.222.222

Non-authoritative answer:

Addresses:  2a00:1450:4013:c03::65
          172.217.17.142

In attachment you have the results..

I haven't changed things since I changed my wifi passkey and my firewall setting into router is disabled. It's very strange case..

Try going to Google by doing http://172.217.17.142

If that works, you got some kind of DNS issue in your browser, reboot should fix it.

Okokok!
I''ve restored my powerline through Wps method!

I set up using Wps feature by router and now I've my wifi network cloned by powerline....and mainly real access to internet!!

I can't know why I encountered this issue..

I tried many ways but only with Wps feature I've fixed it.

Sometimes now I notice some interrupting on wifi but it is restored early.

Probably my powerline is partially damaged..

That makes sense then, to have a concern about power lines, especially if you are in an older building.

Yes, but in my case I don't think my issue was related by electrical system because I wouldn't have had success through the Wps method to configure the powerline..

Not necessarily... often, hardware issues are random in nature, especially in borderline cases where a connection is *almost* made, but is in a state of flux. WPS could work one hour and then be dodgy the next.
