Model: TL-WPA4220 KIT

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version: 1.0.11 Build 221123 Rel.33987n (6985/8575)

So I've been happily using my wireless extender for almost a year (bought 12 June 2023)

It's been great but recently the wireless has been randomly turning off, to fix it I have done the following;

Reset the device on both the wired powerline and the wireless unit
Disabled the power save on the Powerline
Updated the firmware
Factory reset, took it back to barebones to start again tech can get confused now and then.

I am unable to try another plug so a suggestion to try that can't happen.

It's annoying that after almost a year its started to fail. Please give advice at what to try next as I am currently unsure where to go next

Okay I think I found a fix maybe?

Within the WiFi Schedule in advanced settings there is a setting 'Do not turn off the WiFi while clients are connected to it' why this isn't enabled by default is confusing but this appears to be a fix... time will tell.

If others have the same issue I hope this helps!

@Mr--Smith242

Let's hope this setting is the culprit for your troubles. It's just peculiar that this affected you after a year of using the device.

@Mr--Smith242

Hi, thank you very much for the update.

Usually, only when you enable the WiFi Schedule, the extender will turn off the WiFi automatically based on the schedule.

The 'Do not turn off the WiFi while clients are connected to it' is disabled by default because the WiFi schedule is disabled by default. I guess you've enabled the WiFi schedule now.
