I think the LED shows the status of the powerline connection. Oragne means no connection, green means there is a connection.

All of my P7 deco sometimes show a orange LED, somtimes green, sometimes two units show a green LED and one an orange LED. It is totally random.

Mybe there is a conflict between the power adaptors of my P7s and the other powerline devices from TP Link I run at my home. Who knows. Nothing is well documented and no answer from TP-Link support ether. 

I would also like to know this as well as my Deco P7's change their power supply colours,

so, Orange = Red ?

Hi Kevin,

thanks for this description.

I've two more questions in addition with my p7 deco's powerline:;

1.) working in ap mode and being connected via lan cable, the powerline network plug of p7 sometimes shows green, sometimes orange (it's not red). Does this mean anything? 

2.) I'm into colors, I'd swear the deco shows red (not connected), orange (<50mbps), light green (>50 < x ) and dark green. Can you confirm this?

3.) Can you give some further information for powerline being activated or used? Is there a certain data rate at which it switches on?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

thx a lot !

So meanwhile three (one ist the main deco for sure) of my six decos are connected with a lan cable to the main switch and three are running over wifi/powerline. 

The main deco's powerline led always stays green, the other two lan connected deco's will always turn off powerline and switch back on (to green) when the lan cable is pulled.

The wifi ones always show a green led at their powerline adapter. 

I replugged the lan connected decos several times, deco boots up, turns mintgreen, powerline's green and turns orange. 

The whole system works great so I think it's supposed to turn off powerline (to orange) as soon as a gigabit connection is linked up (in ap mode). Could you please check that point with your engineers? I just want to know if this is ok :)

Thanks again in advance
