Thank you for all the case details, can you start a New Thread for firmware updated failed.

Please double check the label of your device and see if it is of (US) or other country version, please share a photo in your new thread. 

Please try to turn off the Windows Firewall or antivirus software when update the firmware.

new post created here - https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/595458 Very tempted to take this thing back and never buy another tp-link product.

None of the so call 'fixes' work as far as curing the DHCP problem that blights y the home network when you install one of these TP link devices.

 

Years of promises and more promises and delays and then so called firmware updates ... nothing stops them causing your home network to keep dropping out.

 

the BS about fixing the IP address in the powerline device is A Grade BS too....  

 

Just advise people never to buy TP link kit.   I have £200 worth of their garbage here that is useless so avoid it at all costs.

  @PC_60 not sure why you reply to me but the latest firmware resolved all of the issues with my device. Works perfectly now. Just needed the 'disable DHCP' option.

  @Solla-topee I got a TL-WPA7510 v1. I don´t have the option to disable it´s dhcp server and the thing is killing my whole homenet. 
Please release a firmwarefix for that model too.
Just a button to disable it´s dhcp is fine.

It even shows in the log that it starts the thing at every boot.

Hi, do you mean your TL-WPA7510 v1 doesn't work at all at this moment, or it works but stops working after your router reboots?

And did you check the IP address on the client devices to confirm if the IP address is assigned by the TL-WPA7510 v1?

 

Please also provide us your network topology and LED status on your powerline devices.

In the log you can see it is starting the DHCP but it won´t shut down.

If I set static IP i can use the Network of the Powerline device just fine but that rouge DHCP of the Powerline just nukes connection for every autoassigned device.

Fix is simple, add a toggle to the control of that device so i can shut that thing down. But yeha i can´t and it´s not turning off automagically...

No restarting obv. doesn´t help. My Router is already up, after power outage I manually disconnect the repeater ´cause of that rouge dhcp. That used to work fine but now powerline device is just not turning off the DHCP at all...

 

 

 

Topology for that Powerline:

Injector plugged into the Router and the wall. Wifi part of Powerline set plugged into other outlet. 


Yeha the TL set´s itself as default Gateway so i am pretty damn sure it´s the TL fcking up my network. Other confirmation?: None of these errors happens if I just do not connect the TL-WPA to the power... but sadly i ain´t got wifi then. 

I got some devices which i can´t assign a static adress. 

Only option is to add a damn user control to that device and just let me turn of the useless dhcp in the powerline thing.
