Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

Hello,

I have a large home with different requirements for each room (number of devices per room) ... so I ended up buying 2 different kits: 8030P (kit of 2 with 3 ports) and 8015P (kit of 2 with 1 port).
One of the 8015P is right behind my fiber router and I'm trying to add the rest of the adapters to the network.

I'm not having any issues adding one of the 8030P but if I'm adding the second one, connection between the adapters gets lost ... can see it's trying to connect but eventually fails.

I can see the firmware dates aren't really matching (8030P are from 2014, 8015P are from 2015) ... would there be incompatibilities or issues?

Been trying by resetting them all ... all the same problem ... hope I won't have to return one of the kits to buy all the same models.

Any clue?

Thanks! That works much better now!
I wish TP-Link would maintain their worldwide support websites better (neither the FR or US websites are referencing that firmware) or just centralize their support on a single website.

True it can get very confusing sometimes.
