TL-PA4010PKIT (UK) wont connect to utility / wont show up
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-PA4010PKIT
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version :
ISP : BT Fibre Broadband
Hi All,
Ok so I have an existing Powerline Network made up of a Generic Powerline (200mb) Adapter and 2 Western Digital 4 port devices.
One of the WD devices has been playing up so I decided to purchase the TP-Link kit.
I have plugged one Adapter into the Router and one in remotely and they paired to each other fine and I can access the internet over that link (all 3 LED are lit up)
I am unable to connect either to the Powerline Utility however using a direct cable via Cat 5 Cable. Internet works but the Utility reports no devices attached.
I have tried using the 'pairing' option but it doesnt seem to pair properly, turning adapters off and on again and they connect fine with 3 Led again.
1. How can I get the Adapter to show up in the powerline utility ?
I have tried the V2 kit ending 131216 and also a later link I found in a forum link for PA8010P 24092014
2. Are these adapters able to connect to other providers Powerline Devices ? I was under the impression there was a standard so I (Stupidly?) assumed it would be a simple case of plugging them in and that would be it, note my other devices are open (no password) and work fine with each other but not TP_link
thanks in advance
