Powerline is TL-WPA4230P instead of TL-WPA4230PKIT? Powerline devices have to work in a pair at least. One should be connected to the router and another one or more can be used as the Wi-Fi extender....

Only the new utility can display all powerline devices in the network... With the old version, the local one which is connected to the PC won't show up. New utlility is available here and it can work...
