Hi guys -

I am trying to set up a Powerline network throughout the house but are having major issues so far.
Everything is working fine - speed is decent - and then randomly the connection drops.

Here is a screenshot that shows what both the tpPLC and Mac Network status look like when everything works:






This is what it looks like once the connection drops:

- At first the computer is not able to get an IP at all
- Then it 'Self-Assigns" an IP but still does not have any connection to the internet/router
- The entire time the tpPLC is not able to connect to the Powerline adapter and claims 'No Device Connected'.














To add some more confusion to all this:
- All 3 lights on the unit are green.
- After a while tpPLC sometimes claims that it connected to a powerline adapter but its a 500Mbps unit with different device name (neither exists in our house).





- Once the unit comes back after a while and connects again, I am also receiving completely different information about the speeds when I connect via ethernet vs. via Wifi (via the routher that the Master Powerline adapter is connected to). Shouldn't the speeds be identical?

This is what it looks like connecting via Ethernet:




Via Wifi:




I think it is important to mention here that even though some connections looks really poor (e.g. 11Mbps) they still perform well and achieve the same download/upload performance in a Speedtest.
Another thing that I notice is that while my connection drops, I am able to still see the remaining network of Powerline Adapters via the Wifi. Which means its not a Mode or Router issue.

So far I've done the following to fix this issue without any luck:

- Install latest FW on all units
- Deactivate Sleep/Power Safe mode
- Reset all devices
- Relink all devices
- Switched around units to eliminate that just one faulty unit is causing the issues.

I am curious to hear if you guys have any idea whats going on here.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers!
