Issue: Internet Traffic is Slower After Installing a Bridge

A power line communication bridge can establish communication with a bridge in a neighbouring home or
business. This condition is called bridge crosstalk and it can affect your volume of Internet traffic. To see
if an Internet traffic slowdown problem is caused by crosstalk, disconnect the bridge from the router. If
after that, the Envoy stays online and the bridge continues to indicate connectivity, you are probably
getting connectivity from another bridge. Reconnect the bridge to the router and disconnect the other
bridge from the Envoy. If after that, your volume of Internet traffic increases, other devices are probably
getting access to the Internet through your bridge. Reconnect the bridge. To prevent this problem, use
the solution below according to the type of bridge you have.
Asoka PL9650:
Change the password for your pair of bridges. Asoka has free Windows-only
configuration software that allows password change for the PL9650 in the
"Advanced" screen of their configuration utility. This operation requires an Ethernet
cable and access to both ends of the bridge. The configuration software is
available at http://www.asokatech.com/downloads-page.
