Model: TL-WPA4220  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.0.12 Build 230309 Rel.64136n (6985)

I have four TL-WPA4220 v5((1.0.12 Build 230309 Rel.64136n (6985)) and threeTP-P4010 one v3(TL-PA4010(EU)V3_180914) and v4(TL-PA4010 KIT(EU)_V4_231103).

 

One of my TL-WPA4220 connected via Ethernet to a TL-MR6400 router.

 

All four TL-WPA4220 have DHCP disabled and all devices get DHCP from TL-MR6400.

 

When I use WiFi on the TP device (only supports 2.4g) I get duplicate packets between hosts running on the access points.

 

I see the DUP packets on a daily basic but sometimes devices drop and do not come back until a reboot.

 

I setup a monitoring server on a Raspberry pi

 

This causes some devices never to connect back until the AP in range is rebooted. We also seem the same thing across all 4 TL-WPA4220 in the same time range.

 

We have also downloaded the PLC utility and disabled power saving mode for the three TL-PA4010

 

Very close to this post but does not have a solution.

I did not change the SSID's I changed the powerline security name in each AP. This essentially disabled the mechanism that allows internet to travel through the power sockets in the wall. I kept the SSID's all the same.

 

I've then ran Ethernet to each access point.

 

Since then it has been stable.

Ended up changing the powerline name to each AP to something different so they cannot talk to each other via the powerlines and ran Ethernet to each AP from a switch.

Hello @SHA2 ,

Thank you for contacting our community.

 

Do you mean that when these powerline units (APs) work together, they will be disconnected from the router?
In your reply, you mentioned that after changing the SSIDs of all APs to different ones, has the stable connection been restored?
