Earlier this week I decided to either (a) get the powerline adaptors working or (b) run an ethernet cable through the house from router (upstairs) to the locality of the TV (downstairs). I opened a ticket with TP-Link, asking for their advice, and received a very helpful and personalised reply by return. They gave a series of steps to take to establish the cause of the problem and initiate a cure, all tailored to my specific layout.
I carried out some of the recommended steps and the powerline adaptors have now been working perfectly for 3 days, rather than the previous 3 hours or so. Making sure all network cable connections were sound and moving the 'receiving' adaptor to a different mains socket seems to have done the trick.
My thanks to TP-Link for a good product and excellent after-sales service.
I bought another pair of adapters (TL-PA4010). I managed to pair these to the TL-PA4030 using the "Pair Buttons" without any trouble.
To check them I loaded the TP-Link powerline utility.
1st problem: you have to run the utility as an Administrator.
2nd problem: I could not understand why I could not see the adaptor that was connected to the router (only 2 adaptors on), yet Internet access was there! It took me a while to realise that the adaptor the PC is connected to does not appear in the utility, it is referred to (when missing) as the local adaptor.
So if you want to give your local adaptor a name, it has to be done from a different PC! Or swap the Ethernet lead between adaptors.
3rd Problem: I decided to rename the Powerline network name using the utility. Immediately afterwards all communication ceased!
Not 100% sure why because I discovered the answer to Problem 2 last. I think maybe the utility renames all adaptors but not the local one.
So it can take ages to setup!
My TL-4030Kit didn't include the TP-Link Utility CD but the TL-PA4010 did. It can be downloaded from:
[...]
If you want to personalise your network, setup the adaptor name and network before pairing extra adaptors.
Hopefully this info will help others to setup a Powerline network.
Addon: Naming a network only seems to work locally i.e. for one PC, so it seems like a pointless exercise.
I'm now using my laptop and although it can "see" the other 2 adaptors, there is no network or adaptor names!
Almost forgot, how fast are they ? Well since I'm upgrading from 200AV, I wasn't expecting 500Mb/s.My broadband is 30Mb/s
and it can keep up with that,. PC to PC transfer with compressed data (.jpg) about 1MB/s. I'm happy with that.
The problem is that the configuration software gets confused when all four Adapters are installed. Further the Network Name is set on the network screen and not against each adaptor. I ended up as follows (slow device is my older Solar Monitor using the 200s and fast device is using the newer 500s to connect a Smart TV+Hi-fi). Note that I'm using the Adapters to connect non-PC devices to the LAN/WAN.
Removed 2 x 200Mbps Adapters linking Slow device and Router
Plugged in 2 x 500Mbps Adapters and connected one to the Router and one to my PC
Ran TP-Link Powerline Utility as Admin on the PC
On Network screen could see both 2 x 500Mbps Adapters but only the password for the one connected to PC
Clicked Modify for Adapter connected to Router and entered password
Went to Status screen and set Network Name to TV+HiFi
Went to Network screen but now could only see the Adapter connected to PC
Swapped the ethernet cables over (i.e. other adapter is connected to PC). Now see just the other Adapter.
Went to Status screen and set Network Name to TV+HiFi for that Adapter
Went to Network screen and can now see both Adapters and speed of 480Mbps
Plugged in the 2 x 200Mbps Adapters linking Solar Monitor and Router but cannot see them
Went to change Status screen to Solar without clicking Apply but this does not show the 2 x 200Mbps Adapters
Removed the 2 x 500Mbps Adapters and just has the 2 x 200Mbps Adapters
Repeated earlier steps as for 500s but chose a different Network Name of Solar
Finally
Connected the 2 x 500Mbps Adapters to the TV+Hi-Fi and the Router
Connected the 2 x 200Mbps Adapters to the Solar Monitor and the Router
Connected the PC to the Router
On TP-Link Powerline Utility Network screen could not see any Adapters but they are transferring data.
So, it seems to be working but I cannot monitor anything (including speed) as the TP-Link configuration software can only monitor if one of the adapters is plugged into the PC's ethernet connection.
