Hello tp-link community,

 

The device goes into energy-saving mode after connected network devices are ideling since a while, but does not wake up afterwards, anymore.

Disabling the energy saving mode within the TP link tool does not work, I receive an error message that the attempt failed.

 

Only workaround is to unplug and plug back in the PA, which works with the drawback of un-powering everything which is connected, as well as this is working until the network is idling again, only.

 

In this community, the problem was described already: 

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/1754?sortDir=ASC&page=1

 

post #6 is describing a solution with an alternative firmware (tpPLC_Uitility_2.3.4543.9_220620).

I'd like to try this.

 

So far, I have contacted the TP support. Following their instructions (updating TP link software to the newest version, factory-resetting the TP) did not help. 
Further support attempts (turning off and on the WLAN of the TP) were not applicable, questions being asked (where an when did I buy the TP) had the intention to inform me about the warranty. My specific request of providing the alternative firmware was declined.

 

As I do not have any warranty anymore, anyhow, and it seemed to work for the user in the linked community thread: May I ask the community if the firmware is available and can be provided to me?

 

thanks a lot & br,

Hi,

 

You might also want to check out this thread: 

https://digiex<dot>net/threads/tp-link-homeplug-powerline-power-save-switch-tool-download.14554/  (replace <dot> with .)

 

In post #6 a user posted a zip file containing two variants of a Power Save Switch/Set Standby Mode tool, apparently one of them works for certain adapters and the other for some other adapters.

Thanks a lot! The tools helped me, they did what they are intended for.
Powersaving mode is now deactivated, the power adapter does not go into standby anymore! 

In case someone with the same issue finds this post: I had difficulties with the tools finding the PLA and disabling the powersaving mode.
It helped to unplug every poweradapter but the affected one. Also, it helped keeping the TP link tool running in the background.
