Firmware Version :

ISP : Plus Net


Hi,

I've been using the router provided by PlusNet - Thomson 585 - with my TP-LINK TL-PA4020PT adapters with no issues.

Now I'm trying to use my own Billion BiPac 7800N and I'm having one problem: the powerline LED in the adapter that is connected to the router goes off after a while - overnight or while I'm at the office and not using any device in the network - and the devices connected by ethernet lose network access. The remaining adapters do keep their 3 lights on though.

Looks like either the router or the adapter - or both - go into power saving mode.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi, disable power save mode will solve the problem, check the post by Timx

Install the utility of TL-PA4020PT first.

Then download "SwitchPowerSaveTool", this tool can disable power save mode.

Are the tools compatible with Windows 8.1? I'm getting an error when installing the utility of TL-PA4020PT.

Have managed to run the SwitchPowerSave tool on a Windows 7 PC.

Will come back here if this doesn´t sort out the issue.

Thanks!!

Just got home and the adapter is back to sleep mode. Have checked with the tool and says that Sleep Mode is off.
Any ideas?
