Powerline firmware update failure

Model: TL-PA8033P KIT  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version:

I have the TL-PA8033P Kit

 

This includes an entry node TL-PA8010P (1 port)

And another one TL-PA8030P (3 Port)

 

Initially, looking at the model number printed at the back of the node, I downloaded the following firmware:
https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/tl-pa8010p-kit/v3/#Firmware

And installed it on the main node successfully (using the tpPLC app )

 

Next I noticed the disparity of the models when trying to find the firmware for TL-PA8030P.

From my understanding I should have actually only got the firmware from here ( ? ):

    https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/tl-pa8033p-kit/#Firmware

 

In any case, I then try to update the TL-PA8030P (3 Port) using the firmware from the above link, but the Update fails.

 

Is this caused because of the first firmware I installed ?

 

TL-PA8030P  - shows version 2.7.0.44-02_803133_2000305_901

TL-PA8010P - shows version 2.7.0.44-02_801133_211220_903

  @1o4nn15,

Firstly, I would recommend getting in touch with the team from or posting to the Global Community, as your product/model was not sold in the US; and I am not positive about the behavior of powerline firmware since it is far less popular in the states.

 

It does look like you had used the wrong firmware and because of the matching version numbers, the update fails to see the second firmware as a newer version to what is currently installed. Sometimes our firmware can be used on multiple models, however the functionality of all the features cannot be guaranteed. If you are having no issues with your devices, you may try to wait until a new firmware is uploaded for your model and try updating via the tpPLC utility.

Hi,

Are "TL-PA8030P  - shows version 2.7.0.44-02_803133_2000305_901

TL-PA8010P - shows version 2.7.0.44-02_801133_211220_903" the current firmware on your TL-PA8033P kit

 

If yes, they are already the latest correct firmware under TL-PA8033P kit V3.

Basically, the PA8010P in 8033P kit shared the same firmware as the PA8010P kit.

the PA8030P in 8033P kit also shared the same firmware as the PA8030P kit.

 

If not, may I know the current firmware on both 8010P and 8030P?

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
