Getting an AV500 to work with a TP Deco M4

Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I've just set up 3 x TP Deco M4 and I'm really please with it. However I have an existing AV500 powerline adapter that doesn't want to play anymore. I've tried pairing them again but they don't want to connect to the main TP Powerline thats plugged into the main TP M4 unit (via a small swith for other direct connected devices).

 

Is there a confilict with these 2 devices or am I doing something wrong.

 

If I wad going to ghet them working ideally I'd like to use the clone funionality for "seemless wifi", again I don't know if the AV500 is up to this.

 

Any advice welcome.

@UrbanB Hello, 

 

 

1.Please factory reset your powerline unit by tpPLC Utility one by one:

https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/1612/  

 

2. Put 2 powerline unit in the wall sockets, in the same room, and pair them again :

 

Paring Note:  press Pair button only for 1 sec, Power Leds should be flashing on both powerline units in pairing process. ( if the Power Led does not blink, press it for 1 sec again)
When the Powerline Led or House Leds are on, the pairing process is done

 

3. Connect main powerline unit to Deco via Ethernet cable, and put powerline extender in another room 

 

4.  Download this tpPLC Utility and customize wireless settings for powerline units.
