Powerline indicator lights

2020-12-07 09:37:33

Model: Adapter

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version:

Hi, I'm relatively new to the world of Powerline range extenders and my experience to date has been that they work without any issue. But yesterday I noticed that the Powerline indicator light was going off for approx 5 to 10 seconds every now and then and then occasionally all 3 lights on the adaptor were going off for a few seconds and then coming back on.

Haven't seen this behaviour before and wondered what was going on, any help gratefully received.

Many thanks

Hi,

May I know the model number of your powerline adapters?

Are you able to record a short video clip about the abnormal LED lights?

When the LED kept blinking, did it affect the normal network performance of the powerline communication?

Thank you very much!

Thanks for your response.

1. The kit that I have is a "TP-Link TL-PA4010 Kit AV600 Powerline Adapter Starter Kit"

2. Sorry but video if issue is not possible, after posting yesterday I decided to reset the adapters to their factory settings and re-pair them. Since then the lights on the adapters are behaving normally!

3. I am not aware of any interuption to the internet signal. We use the adapters to supply internet to our Smart TV and I was streaming TV over the internet when the lights were going on and off but didn't notice any effect on the TV. However, I guess that if the drop in internet was very short in duration,the buffer in the Smart TV would have held sufficient information to ride out a second or two of lost signal - just a guess on my part but seems logical to me.

Best regards
