BT MINI CONNECTORS AND TPLINK POWERLINE ADAPTERS

Eclectic — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 18:41:58 GMT

Greetings.

I have a pair of BT mini connectors, one is the directly wired to the router, the second serves a BT Box.

I also have 3 TPlink PA4010P and a TPLink WPA4220 to extend the wifi.

This has worked very well and been stable for several months.

I have tried to add anothe PA4010P, and when I do so the whole pwerline network stops working.

WiFi connections still work.

The new TPLink is not faulty, as I can swap it with any of the others.

I have done many resets, hard and soft, repaired adapters etc. etc.

I have also tried 2 routers, a HH6 and a TPLink TD W9660, the result is the same.

Dos the MT mini adapter have a limit to the number of other adapters it can talk to?

Do I need to ditch the BT adapters for TPLink?

Confused!

Thanks,

Peter

Can’t answer the specific question, but I run a second TV box with TP Link adapters without any problems

Thank Budski.

Surprised that no-one has attepted to extend their powerline network more than that.

Anyway, I have now ditched the BT adapters, and gone completely TPLink.

I now have, connected to the main adapter, 5 wired, and 2 wifi adapters.

A configuration which BT adapters could not cope with.

Everything stable and fast enough to keep the BT UHD box happy.

I may talk to BT technnical when I have taken a few 'patience pills'!
