RED powerline LED (PS4 waking from standby for remote play)

2020-08-14 11:30:36

Hi All.

I have 2 x AV1300 kits (TL-PA8033P) so 4 adapters. The PS4 is plugged into one in the lounge, then in 2 other rooms, there are 2 other windows laptops using the other plugs.

When using the "remote play" application, via either laptop / plug, to trigger switching on the PS4 over the LAN, the powerline LED turns RED briefly and then goes green. This happens reliably each time and across all plugs. So a fault with all the hardware isn't likely.

Has anyone else experienced this? Could the PS4 waking up and in suddenly using more power than in standby send some kind of spike through the powerlines, which the plugs see as instability? TP-Link support were kind of expectedly rather frustrating and didn't help.

Hoping there must be others using powerlines for the same thing and may see the same thing / know what's going on!

Thanks All, S.

Hello, Good day.

Thank you for your patience.

For your case, we might need your help to get the following information:

Did all three power-line extenders go red, or only the one connected to the PS4? And if only the one connected to the PS4, would you please swap the adapters to see if all of them had the same issue?
Have you ever tried to power off the PS4, wait until the Ethernet light turned off and before the power-line adapter went to power save mode, power back on the PS4, would this cause the power-line light go from green to red, then back to green?

If possible, please try to turn off the power save mode on the adapter to see if that helped:
