Can't set this up
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WPA281KIT
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have a TL-WPA281 and a TL-PA211
The TL-PA211 is connected downstairs to my ADSL modem router with a supplied ethernet cable..
The TL-WPA281 is connected to my PC (Realtek motherboard RJ45 connection) upstairs via the ethernet cable which was also supplied.
I have followed the guide to the best of my knowledge but still cant get the internet to work.
I'll show a picture of what I have so far.
(I've blocked out the MAC address and password)
The MAC address's and password are exactly what is stamped on the physical units themselves. (top MAC in the picture is the TL-PA211)
My internet does work aswelll as I am using the wireless on my router. I just thought getting this kit would help keep the signal stable.
Here's another picture of my wireless working but my local failing via the tp-link.
I have noticed that if I disable my Wireless Belkin connection (which only has antennas) the TL-Pa211 Powerline Utility says it can't detect any devices.
Also I have connected my netbook directly to the router with the same ethernet cable and it connects straight away.
I am starting to think that the two powerlines aren't connected to each other at all and are just piggybacking off the wireless belkin connection.......or something :P
I would very grateful if someone could help.
