TL-WPA7617 kit not pairing
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a TL-WPA7617 kit and it worked fine for a wile but afther I reinstalled it, it doesn't pair anymore. The sending one gives the impression of being paired but the recieving end doesn't. I already tried to reset the recieving end but that didn't help. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I suggest you try the following.
1) Plug both adapters that belong to the TL-WPA7617 KIT in wall sockets very near to each other and let them start up. (a multiple outlet power strip would also work)
2) Reset both adapters. -> From the user manual: "Press and hold the Pair button for at least 6 seconds, then release the button to reset
the adapter/extender to default settings."
3) Check if the Powerline lights (marked with a
) turn on on both adapters.
4) If the Powerline lights do not turn on, then try to pair the two adapters by pressing the "Pair" button on both adapters for 1 second.
In case the Powerline lights still don't turn on on both adapters (the TL-PA7017P and the TL-WPA7617), then one of the two adapters must be faulty.

Hi,
Are you able to log into the TL-WPA7617 either by using the "tpPLC Utility" or the device's webpage?
If not, then the TL-WPA7617 is quite likely defective.
If yes, then perform a "Reset" or "Factory Restore" via the user interface. Both of these should completely reset the TL-WPA7617.
Besides, do you get any network connection at all through the two Powerline adapters?
