Model : TL-PA251KIT

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version : 200B-1.0.0.351-06-20120608-FINAL

ISP : Sky

I went to the TP link site to get the latest firmware for my kit, hoping that it might fix the constant dropouts this kit suffers from (I've bought two kits and used the in 3 different houses, and they all suffer the same random dropouts).

I downloaded the release for 07/08/13 and upgraded it. However the new firmware version reported is 200B-1.0.0.351-06-20120608-FINAL

It was originally 200B-1.1.0.846-02-20121116-FINAL

So both the version number AND datestamp in that firmware would seem to show that this firmware is an earlier version. I've also upgraded the utility to the latest version and the reported is still the same.

So how do I get the latest version, or put the original back on my unit?

The units are v3 (which is, apparently not clear, in the dropdownlist when posting this thread).

I cannot find PA251 on their website anymore. So the problem has not been fixed, right?
Did you try to reset them? Power saving is disabled?

I got it from here
http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/TL-PA251_V3.html#Firmware

I
can't see if they go in to power saving mode.
Also, the Powerline utitlity has decided that it can no longer read the local device. Even though the internet works. This has been working fine for a couple of years before the "upgrade".
