Model: TL-PA7017P  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version:

Hi guys,

 

Recently downloaded NordVPN and had killswitch activated. My PC crashing caused the killswitch to activate and blocked my ethernet connection. Later realised that my TP-Link after the kill switch activated lost connection to the house circuit. The TP link that was connected to my router stopped working. All three lights kept flashing in unison every 2-5 seconds. I've tried repairing, switching plug sockets, factory resetting it but same issue is occuring with the flashing lights.

 

Anyone got any idea as to how I might fix this? Don't want to end up buying a new TP Link

Hello @Shadowkatt ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Are the lights on the powerline adapters still flashing now? Please hard reset them for a try:

For models which start with TL-PAxxxx, press and hold the Pair button for 15s until all LEDs turn off and then come back on.

For models beginning with TL-WPAxxxx, press and hold the Reset button for 10s. Release the button and all LEDs turn off. When the LEDs turn back on, the reset process is complete.
