Incorrect IP address
This morning my Youview box was unable to connect to the internet. I found that it had an incorrect IP address - 169.254.X.X. I tried many things and, eventually, it had a valid 192.168 address and internet connection was restored.
What would cause this? Where is the 169.254 address obtained from - there is nothing about it in the router?

Unless it keeps recurring, though, then as long as the Powerline adapters are directly in mains sockets at both end, it was probably just a glitch on the mains, which either something that you did cleared this, or it just cleared itself while you were trying things.
Keep your eye on it, see if it happens again.
