Powerline adapter goes offline?

Model: AC500  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: TL-WPA8630P(US)_V1_170405(AP)

I have an AC1200 powerline network set up.  It seems to be working ok, but when I plugged a home alarm gateway into it, after it was working fine for around 2 weeks, yesterday the gateway started going off-line and on to cellular backup at random times ranging from 20 minutes to a couple of hours.  The weird part was that the gateway would stay off-line for exactly 6 minutes and then go back on-line without any intervention on my part.  I'm trying to figure out if it's a problem with the gateway or the powerline network. Anyone know if there are settings I could tweak on the powerline network to fix this, assuming the problem is with the powerline?

I would see if the power saving mode is enabled, if so disable it to see if that resolves it.

 

Download the tpPLC utility, this article will show you how: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1086/

 

Here is a link to the manual that shows where to find power saving mode, page 14, Section 3.2.3: https://static.tp-link.com/1910012196_tpPLC%20Utility_UG.pdf

Thanks-- I assume that when the switch is to the left, it means that power saving mode is off?? If that's right then it was turned off.

Sound like it might, but test it and monitor it to be sure.

I didn't change anything, but the gateway's connection has been stable for a couple of days.  I'm beginning to suspect that the alarm company was having issues on their end.
