The link is here:
http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-PA511&version=V1#tbl_b

It works for all models, apparently.


I tried that. I got a DLL error. How about a firmware update TP-LINK. Right now, the device is pretty much unusable.

Have you turned off powersave on all 4 units, including the one at your router? The powersave toggle needs to be done individually on every unit.


I have been dealing with this problem for a long time (first with PA411) so powersave is something I tried already. It seems to help somewhat but doesn't eliminate the problem.

I have the same problem with my 4 units TL-PA4010. They all have power save off and it does not matter the order I plug them (I have one on the router, one on my desktop, one on my PS3, and one spare).

An interesting thing that I noticed is that when I lost connection to the device connected to the router, if I simply unplug and re-plug the spare unit, the connection comes back.
So, the simple removal and reintroduction of a unit in the network is enough to bring the "dead" device back to life.

Anyone else noticed this?

Same problem

Hi,





My powerline adapter drops the signal to my smart tv (Connected by ethernet), typically while watching netflix. At this point, my IPad shows full strength signal (connected by wifi) but if I try to connect to a web page, it says not connected to internet.

If I re-boot the powerline extender, the connection comes back immediately for both smart tv and IPAD.

While I have the problem the wireless from my main router works ok.

This is really frustrating.

That is exactly how I recover from this problem. Re-boot the powerline adapter. Its a total pain, because I have to go upstairs to get to it, and it can happen quite frequently, but when I power cycle it, the signal returns immediately and at full strength !!!

Same problem. I've given up on using this product. The vendor likes to sell but not support. Adios.
