adding TL-PA4010 to existing network
Region : Netherlands
Model : TL-PA4010
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 500A-1.0.0.337-01-20120309-FINAL
ISP : Solcon
Some weeks ago I bought one packet Powerline TL-PA4010 for transporting the Internetsignal from the modem to our TP-link router, that was placed in the centre of our house. It started to work splendidly in our spacious converted farmhouse without using pairbuttons etc.. So I bought another packet TL-PA4010 to extend the network for older computers that can't handle the WPA-protection. It was difficult to get the new adapters connected with the rest. I have resetted them several times and placed them near one of the other adapters. In the meantime I installed Powerline Utility on one of the computers. How to get these adapters working?

First, install the mini CD attacthed with the adapter to Windows computer. I think you have already installed it.
Second, bring all power line adapters to the computer that has already installed the CD. After that, connect No.1 adapter to computer by an Ethernet cable and also the power line adapter to the wall socket.
Third, on the green Utility page, go to Status page-->Network name-->click on use Default-->Apply.
Then unplug the first one and put the NO.2 adapter into the computer and the wall socket. Do the exact step. You need do the same step for all the adapters one by one.
