For your information, Ethernet powerline adapter (Like TL-PA511) is made up of two parts: PIB and NVM.

 

The firmware version number on the utility is actually the PIB version number, therefore if the new firmware just upgrades NVM version, then the PIB version number on the utility will not change. So if you have updated the firmware successfully but with the same firmware version number, it may be the reason.

 

Besides, can you get internet from the TL-PA511 by wired cable connected? 

 

Good day.

Hi, yes both adapters still work giving internet. So if the pib version number will not change then im hoping im on the latest firmware as for both adapters it said firmware sucessful. I have also tried installing the firmware from 2012 but that one keeps failing saying update failed for both adapers. Both adapters are working fine so i guess i will just leave it, as tplink chat support told me that both adapters are faulty and i need to replace them. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your reply; cause they are still giving internet, I do not think they are faulty. 

 

Per I mentioned before, the firmware version number is the PIB version number, and you saw "updated successfully" after you install the latest firmware from the official website, it should be fine. You do not have to worry about it. 

 

If need more help, please let me know. 

 

Best regards.
