Model: TL-WPA8630 KIT  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 220401

Hi,

 

I own a TL-WPA8635P KIT Kit CPL AV1300 Gigabit WiFi AC.

I encounter some stability issue between the 2 devices.


The one far from my router, receiving data from the current line, sometimes get a CPL disconnection.
I have to wait 5 minutes or more to get a reconnection.
Sometimes it does not reconnect at all and I have to unplug it then replug it.
No pattern (Current line is fine, good download rate).
It is annoying because my desktop PC is connected to this device

 

My question is : If I activate the Wi-Fi on this kit, will my PC be able to connect to the internet via this Wi-Fi connection ?... as the device is Wi-Fi connected to the main device (plugged to my router).

 

If you can get me confirmation or any suggestion to deal with this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

It could be that the Powerline connection is marginal at times and therefore not always reliable.

 

See if you can get a better connection when you plug the TP-WPA8635P into another socket that is closer to the TL-PA8010P. You can use TP-Link's "tpPLC Utility" to check if the connection improves.

 

If you can get a more stable connection when the distance is closer, then you could consider using the Wi-Fi to bridge the last gap, like shown in the drawing below.

 

Whether the PC is connected to the TP-WPA8635P via Ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi doesn't matter for the Internet connection.

  @woozle Thanks for your answer.

The power line is fine (checked with a multimeter).

 

My desktop PC needs to be plugged to an Ethernet cable in order to get to the internet (no Wi-Fi card).

Your drawing suggest that the wifi from a CPL device does not allow any direct connectivity for my PC:

The TL-WPA8635P KIT can only be used like is shown in the drawing.
