Model: TL-WPA4220 KIT  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.0.12 Build 230309 Rel.64136n (6985)

My log is full of SHCP requests with a lease time of 130 s

 

 INFO 3days, 07:15:09, [dhcpc]DHCPC: Send REQUEST to server 192.168.1.1

2 INFO 3days, 07:15:09, [dhcpc]DHCPC: Recv ACK from server 192.168.1.1 with ip 192.168.1.100 lease time 130

3 INFO 3days, 07:16:16, [dhcpc]DHCPC: Send REQUEST to server 192.168.1.1

4 INFO 3days, 07:16:16, [dhcpc]DHCPC: Recv ACK from server 192.168.1.1 with ip 192.168.1.100 lease time 130

 

I saw an older discussion with did not end with a solution, hence me restarting this one.

 

- I upgraded to the latest sw (I think).

- I gave my WPA4220 a fixed address

- I set the DHCP server to "inactive" in the WPA4220 interface (even though I could not find infromation on what this does).

 

The log keeps growing and I have difficulties keep devices connected.

 

Any idea ?

 

Thank you.

Hi@Pascal05,

 

Here are some suggestions may help you:

  • Disable save mode

 You can disable it using the tpPLC utility. Refer to this FAQ for detailed instructions: How to enable/disable power saving mode on powerline adapters

 

 

 

  • Check Lease Time Configuration:

​​​​​​​The DHCP lease time of 130 seconds is very short. If possible, log into your ISP modem/router and increase the lease time to a more standard value (e.g., 24 hours). This will reduce the frequency of DHCP requests.

 

  • Static IP Configuration:

You've assigned a fixed IP address to your WPA4220. Ensure that this IP is outside the DHCP range of your ISP's modem/router to avoid conflicts. For example, if your DHCP range is 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.100, you can set your WPA4220 to something like 192.168.1.200.

 

  • Reboot Devices:

After making changes to configurations, reboot both your ISP modem/router and the WPA4220 to ensure that all settings take effect.

 

  • Check for IP Conflicts:

Monitor the devices connected to your network to ensure no two devices are trying to use the same IP address. This can cause connectivity issues.

 

  • Consider Factory Reset:

If the problem persists and you have exhausted all options, consider performing a factory reset on the WPA4220 and reconfiguring it from scratch.

For TL-PA4010 (the models which start with TL-PAxxxx), press and hold the Pair button for 15s until all LEDs turn off and then come back on.For TL-WPA4220 (models beginning with TL-WPAxxxx), press and hold the Reset button for 10s. Release the button and all LEDs turn off. When the LEDs turn back on, the reset process is complete.

  @Joseph-TP 

 

Hi Joseph, Thank you for answering my question. Some input

 

Since I use fixed addresses, the log is empty. It seems to have worked although I do not understand why the lease time was so short.

Note that just removing the DHCP of the TP device did not help.

 

I will consider this post closed (although i still have connection issues)

 

Thnak you.
