Thanks Pacoo for finding the vendor's own link ... I'm always for not redistributing what has been sent to a single person individually.

Purely from the filenames, I can confirm these are the same I got (I had EU flavors only).

I'm going to send my final report out this week - and I'll have to return the V1 kit to Amazon too, time's up or else they're going to bill me for the V2 kit.

Thanks to everyone for their help and support and to Peter and Pacoo for the firmware. I've updated the plugs I have now. Hoping they'll be more stable!

Okey dokey. I'll keep an eye on in the coming days, in the hope it sorts, as we're using the plugs for IPTV, we should be able to see if there's an improvement or not. Think Peter mentioned in a previous post, he had a positive outcome, so here's hoping. On a side note, the team I've been working with, at TP-LINK Support, have been fantastic and a pleasure to deal with.

With those betas, I've verified IPTV multicast traffic routing, and got mixed results. The V2 firmware correctly routes multicast traffic from PLC to those LAN clients that have subscribed to the stream, with the other LAN jacks not getting copied. The beta firmware for the V1 fails to get this right, multicast traffic copying to all three LAN ports no matter what. I have reported this finding back, so let's all look forward to a 2nd beta fixing that.

Been busy I completely forgot about this.

Any more news on your testing?

Cant believe last time I talked to support they claimed they had no V2 to exchange for mine, or had any idea when they would have any.
Completely ridiculous and useless!

Hi guys, sadly, after installing the beta firmware we covered on the V.1's I have, the disconnections are still happening, usually for a minute or so every couple of days. Part of me is thinking I'll just have to put up with the issue, which is just an annoyance really. That said, I'm looking at newer TP-Link TL-WPA8630PKIT V2's on Amazon and considering picking those up.... How's everyone else getting on?

" Problem I had was I never got a gigabit connection cos I guess my ethernet cable is too long."

Ethernet spec supports cables up to 110 Metres long. Probably you are using eBay cables that are not solid copper and don't meet the specs. Proper cables must be solid copper conductors. Ones on eBay are commonly CCA (Copper Coated Aluminium)
