At a total loss here. I use the extender to get wifi in my bedroom. The WPA4230P extender is broadcasting 2.4Ghz Wifi on channel 11. I also have neighbours on channel 11 which is a pain as it's really hampering my wifi performance. I'm trying to change the channel of my powerline extender to either 1 or 6 but can't find anything in the downloaded utility off the website that allows me to do this. I have read about a management utility online which would allow me to change the channel but cannot find a download for this. I have downloaded the tpPLC utility but this is not allowing me to change the channel used for my wifi. Unfortunately I no longer have the disk that came with the adaptors. can someone point me in the right direction.

Well I managed to solve this despite my own utter incompetence lol.

Make sure you are connected to to Powerline's wifi and then access the following url.

http://tplinkplclogin.net

Both default username and password on your Powerline is set to "admin".

It really was this simple, hopefully me posting my own solution will help another in a similar situation. Quite why TP-Link couldn't actually allow the software I downloaded from their website to do this is beyond me as it doesn't really do a lot in all fairness. I'll just stick with the web browser based service as it works and actually has uses other than turning the LED lights on and off. Crazy to make such a useless TpPLC utility when this is what we need.
