Region : Australia

Model : TL-WPA4220

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP :

Is anyone else seeing a problem where the utility for Mac uses up 100% CPU of a core, and doesn't quit when you exit the utility? You have to go into Activity Monitor and manually kill the process.

See my screenshot below, only 0.1% is occupied and I can exit it directly as well. You may provide related screenshots. By the way, any other MAC for you to try?

I heard that TP-LINK will release a new utility for all of their powerline devices in the near future. :)

I logged a bug report with TP-LINK and they've confirmed it's a bug (yay its not just me!). Looking forward to the new util :)
Thanks Tony!
