TL-PA9020P AV2000 losing network pairing/dropping connection

Model : TL-PA9020PKIT
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 3.2.4_902111_170118_901
ISP : Sky Fibre
Hi all,
Thought I'd post to see if anyone else has the same problem or has found a solution to a problematic adapter I have.
I bought 2 * TL-PA9020P kits and have synced up all 4 to be paired and all seemed to work fine, with all 3 LEDs green in colour.
A few weeks ago I noticed my Apple TV wasn't connecting to the network and looked at the AV2000 adapter and noticed the 2nd / middle LED was flashing red intermittently. I looked via the Windows app "tp-PLC" and noticed that the troublesome adapter kept joining the network then dropping off.
I am able to reset the adapter and re-pair it to the network. However, after no more than 24 hours, the LAN light turns red once more, flashing every 2 or 3 seconds.
All the adapters have the most recent firmware 3.2.4_902111_170118_901
Any pointers, much appreciated.

Maybe they will eventually get round to it on the UK site...

New firmware seens to works more stably and resolve some issues. It's good to run the latest firmware.
But when the 2nd LED is flashing red, there could be interference between the troublesome adapter and the master adapter. My suggestion is moving the troublesome adapter to a different power outlet or exchange its location with the other working daptes to see where the where the issue lies, whether it's a specific socket or a specific adapter.

All - I successfully updated the firmware on all 4 adapters and enjoyed trouble-free connectivity ..... for about 4 weeks. Then suddenly the red LED!
I have reverted to 1gig Powerlines from another brand and have zero faith in TP-Link products.
I'm hoping this product design / QA testing was a one-off flaw.

@Marky161
I had the same last week, one time so far...updated all adapters(HW V1 EU) to latest official 3.4.2b firmware and they ran several days without drops(but still "performance hickups" in between).
I had to plug off all of them to get network again. So i declare this incident as a "one time thing".
I bought this adaptors because i cannot lay cable through my appartement, and i need them to broadcast SAT>IP signals from my server to clients in several rooms.
So the signal is a continuous stream and i see from time to time(sometimes more, sometimes less) picture errors when watching tv, that's why i tell this "performance hickups"(do not accur on lan!).
I changed power sockets on walls but it's not better...
Is TP-LINK working on such performance issues or do i have to throw them away?! :-(
Thank you all in advance for your tips/infos...

@The Vogon
How did you disable jumbo packets and ipv6 on these adapters? o_O

I disabled that on my PCs / NAS / Routers not the adaptors. However I have since turned it back on with firmware 3.2.4b and it seems to be stable.
I haven't actually tested if the 9xxx firmware supports IPv6 and I'm not sure it supports Jumbo packets either for that matter, but having it enables seem OK now.

After a long hunt around, I finally found that Powerline apparently only supports standard size Ethernet frames (1500 Octets) according to the AV2 Powerline spec. document.

Ok, thank you...
Nevertheless, i still have the problem with the performance mentioned in my first post, in this case with continuous stream interruption/picture errors.

Try swapping adaptors if you have more that 2 and see if the problem moves with a specific adaptor.
It's also possible you have intermittent mains interference. For instance aircon, microwave, tumble dryer, washing machine, or anything else with a large electric motor. And fluorescent lights can cause interference too.

Mine has just started doing this, the middle light flashes red.
I updated 3 of my 4 adapters to the latest firmware (UK) last month, 1 won't update for some reason.
Any ideas of things to try?
