@hedgehog90 The PA2020 have two network ports on them, right? Plug only one of them into the Netgear switch, not both.

TL-PA7017P is a wired only model. You should not expect any wifi from them.

@natevw Well it's not like the things need updates to keep working. And if a model is discontinued the likely reason is just that its features didnt sell all that well, but buying it won't hurt you....

@raytravel It isn't clear what you're asking. Does the place where you shop only sell powerline adapters with wifi? TP Link and other brands make plenty of powerline models that do not have wifi, if...

TL-PA4010

If a problem like that follows the same adapter to different plugs and different cables then it sounds like a defective unit.
