Model: TL-PA4010 KIT  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.0.2134-00_401091_160311_906

So I have the version 1.20 but on the site there no firmware for them. But there is firmware for V1.0. Is that one one I am meant to use?

 

https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/tl-pa4010-kit/v1/#Firmware

 

It does say this on page:

Please verify the hardware version of your device for the firmware version. Wrong firmware upgrade may damage your device and void the warranty. (Normally Vx.0=Vx.6/Vx.8 (eg:V1.0=V1.6/V1.8);   Vx.x0=Vx.x6/Vx.x8 (eg:V1.20=V1.26/V1.28)

 

Notes:

For TL-PA4010 KIT(UK)1.0, TL-PA4010 KIT(UK) 1.2;

 

Also my firmware isn't listed on site either. I don't know if they list factory firmware or not and I'm not sure how old it is either. I just want to make sure I'm selecting right one so I don't "Brick" it when updating firmware.

Coincidentally I have this exact same issue/query - fairly surreal to find the exact question I needed answering has been asked already in the past 24 hours!

Hoping this reply elevates this thread to get an answer

To add, mine is also:-

Model - TL-PA4010
Next to the serial number on the label it has - (UK)/1.2

On the TP-Link website there is a specific page for the UK version of the TL-PA4010 Version 1.2, but no specific firmware

Our only option is to download TL-PA4010 Versions 1, 2 or 3

I'm presuming its TL-PA4010 Version 1 we need, but dont want to brick the adapter

Link to webpage for TL-PA4010 Version 1.2 - https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/tl-pa4010-kit-v1.20/

There is a download for the TP Link Utility app on this page, but no firmware listed

Hi,

 

Like you already mentioned in your post, the download page for the TL-PA4010 KIT V1 clearly states "For TL-PA4010 KIT(UK)1.0, TL-PA4010 KIT(UK)1.2".

So, if the label on the backside of your TL-PA4010 reads something like "Model: TL-PA4010" and "(UK)/1.2", then this would be the right firmware for you.

 

By the way. Go ahead and download the latest firmware version on that page you linked and uncompress the zip file. Then open the file "QCA7420-WallAdapter-HomePlugAV_CE-ClassB.pib" in an Editor software of your choice. You will see various version strings in cleartext in there, for example "QCA7420-1.3.0.2134-00" and "tpver_401091_160311_906", which correspond to the version designation you've listed on top of this thread. This makes me believe that the firmware version presently on your TL-PA4010 is the same as the newest one available on the download page.
