Model: TL-WPA8630P KIT  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.1

Have a VirginMedia Hub3 and up until 2 weeks ago ran a powerline set up with three extenders.  This worked fine with no issues.

Two weeks ago the two additional extenders stopped working although the LED lights show that they are still paired.  Have reset and paired again but will only pair one.  I can pair all of the extenders but only one at any time. It doesn't link the other two no matter which combination of extenders I try.

No problems with hub according to VM.

Some very unhappy kids at the moment due to lack of WiFi and frustratingly I've tried everything I can think of (including speaking to TP link help desk and nothing is working)

@webster74  Hello, 

 

Please download tpPLC Utility and refer to this guide below to add the powerline unit by Powerline Key one by one. 

 

Keep the two working units plugged in. 

-> Put the 3rd unit close to1st / 2nd unit in a wall outlet , add 3rd unit by power line Key.

-> if 3rd unit has House Led ON-> Unplug 3rd one and plug in 4th unit and add by power line key. 

Later plug in 3rd & 4th unit back to their original locations.

@webster74 Take a look all over the internet. Everyone has the same problems with these things eventually. They are simply junk products sold by a company who just want your money and to offer no real support afterwards. Everyone I know with a TP Link Powerline has problems. Mine works fine for a week and then just disconnects and comes on again a few weeks later then goes again.
