Now after a couple of weeks I find myself having to switch the system on and off once a day otherwise it just grinds to a halt ! The data rate graphic usually shows second adapter around 11Mbps So I find myself switching all off and on every morning. I have the SSID cloned, so same name throughout the house. So now after about two weeks, these devices appear to become saturated after a few days and internet grinds to a halt. To use this app, you need to be connected to the Wi-Fi network of a powerline extender below (listed hardware versions and above):

Make sure you have directly connected your PC/laptop to the receiver unit (TL-WPA4220 in my case) with an ethernet cable. Keep in mind that this new firmware is not flashable with the conventional tpPLC utility. I bumped into this post in TP-Link’s forum which links to files that include newer firmware/drivers than the one in TP-Link’s official updates. It seems that TP-Link’s updates hadn’t upgraded the units' firmware since (TL-WPA4220) and (TL-PA4020P). Upgrading the firmware from TP-Link’s website didn’t fix the problem. The rest network worked fine and I concluded that the problem was in the connection between those two units. I got frequent drops of connection, averaging from 2 to 5 times a day.
