TL-PA4010 Interfering with WiFi
I've had the device for less than 1 year and it's been working fine, but over the last 10 days it has started to impact my WiFi signal. When the TP link is switched on I get poor Wi-Fi, for example my TV goes pixelated when streaming Netflix, but when the TP is switched off the Wi-Fi (and streaming) is fine.
The TP Link is close to my router and connected via Ethernet cable as you'd expected. I have also just done an update to the latest firmware and the issue is still happening.
Also I don't know if its relevant, but the Powerline LED on the device is blinking and not staying on solid
Thanks for any help.

Hello @AdrianS01
1. TV going pixilated could be caused by low bandwidth, as device connected to powerline and devices connected to router share the total bandwidth of router, was there any ( high traffic) network activities like streaming or file downloading on devices connected to TL-PA4010 at that time?
2. To isolate the issue, please unplug the powerline kit for a day or two and see if you get Poor Wi-Fi
Try a different wall socket in a different wall socket, probably a socket a bit further away from the router.
3. Was the powerline work fine with the same router? Did you change any settings on Wi-Fi router that may cause the issue.
For the poor Wi-Fi, was there any disconnection or Wi-Fi error or only TV was pixilated? You could test the Wi-Fi speed once plugging TL-PA4010 ( unplug the device in extender unit in case it shares bandwidth)and see if there is any difference
4. Can you know your network map, like Router Model XX- PA4010 main ___ PA4010 extender-PC

I've managed to resolve the issue. While using the TP Link utility I could see there was an extra unknown device connected to one of the Powerline devices. Using the TP Link utility I removed the device and the Wi-Fi has been working fine since and where Powerline LED has stopped blinking.
