Re: BT Mini Connectors - no data light
Hi. Different issue hopefully you can help.
My 3 connectors are all setup and working except one regularly disconnects, data light goes out, then turns red, then turns blue. This happens every 10-15 minutes or so. The system is all brand new, all BT, setup on Monday.
Obviously this is very frustrating when I randomly disconnect from work meetings.

Re: BT Mini Connecter Disconnects
This is simply not true.
I recently switched to BT from Sky and was using TP Link powerlines perfectly fine. Now that we're on BT we have received 3x Mini Connectors all setup, connected with a brand new smarthub... (let me guess... factory reset still applies to brand new hardware???) and the Mini Connectors consistently drop and reconnect.
Please provide a solution before we have to switch to a competent ISP.

Re: BT powerline adapter disconnecting
I too have this problem... except I only use BT Mini Connectors on a new installation of BT internet and hardware (setup 3 days ago). Despite only using one brand of powerline adaptors this problem still persists which, in your words, "by process of elimination" means that it is a problem with the BT hardware.
We had TP Link adaptors setup previously on Sky broadband... absolutely no issues with those so it isn't a "fault with the mains" as suggested in another thread.
Any suggestions? These Mini Connectors are almost twice the price of other powerline adaptors yet they don't work.

Re: BT Mini Connecter Disconnects
Try turning off Smart Setup What is Smart Setup on the BT Hub? How can I turn it on and off? | BT Help
If that doesn't work then yes, a factory reset on a new issue hubs has been know to resolve certain problems, just be advised that Smart Setup will need to be turned off again as a factory reset re-enables it.

So why not use the TP Link powerlines?

@Transitory Rather than spraying your question over a multitude of other posts where answers will get missed, I have consolidated your posts on a new thread. Please stick to this thread with this topic.
