TL-PA8030p shows up as "Unknown" device

I have several TP Link powerline adapters. I have 8010P connected to my router, 2x a TL-PA8030P(EU) V1 and oneTL-WPA8630P V1.

One of the PA8030P is showing up as an Unknown in the TP Link tool and I can't upgrade the firmware nor adjust the settings of that device.

The other adapters are showing up with the TP Link logo and, PLC 1200 and buttons to adjust settings.

The adaptor is working though, but strangly thats is all. Any idea how i can adjust the settings or upgrade its firmware?

I have deleted the device and added to the PL network again a few times without any positive result.

Solved. A reset of the PLC did the trick (press the connect button for 15 seconds while connection it to the power)
