System will not connect to ethernet

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

I recently switched from windows and I am using a TPlink powerline adaptor which windows happily used. Problem is Endevour throws IP configuration was unavailable. any help with this issue would be amazing

Are you able to show the hardware? Are you using ethernet or WiFi?

The powerline shouldn’t matter to your OS (it’s a black box). Your problem should be elsewhere (like NIC support) or DHCP.

I was using WiFi through a dongle but it’s so slow I had to do an offline install.

It looks like the hardware is showing working.

I just tried disabling IPv6 but no dice

7

So you can’t connect to WiFi?

I can connect to WiFi but I get very slow speed because it’s through a cheap dongle.

I’m not that familiar with the TP-link powerline adapter. Are you saying it doesn’t work on Ethernet?

10

Yes sorry, that’s my fault for not clarifying that.

The power line adaptor is ethernet.

Rick, I have a set (just stopped using them in Dec 2023). They’re totally transparent to the host OS. There are no powerline drivers, it just looks like Ethernet (if it’s working properly at least).
Being connected to the power directly, I have had at least one burn out on me spontaneously (power spike perhaps).

Can you ping

ping -c 3 www.google.com

13

On the ethernet?

14

Yes

15

ping: www.google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution
So DNS issues?

16

Try the ip address
ping -c 3 142.251.41.36

17

ping: connect: Network is unreachable

18

Try

ping 127.0.0.1

19

Can’t access local IPs either, like my router homepage
