tpPLC 4+

The TP-link powerline extender devices seem very good, but it’s not yet clear how this app helps.

Initially I couldn’t get this app to work with my TP-link devices at all. The devices themselves, including the wi-fi powerline extender, all seem to work very well, but this app couldn’t see them. It just said “No device found. Please connect to the wi-fi network of a compatible powerline extender...” ...but I’d already done that...

Update: tried switching off my wi-fi extender and switching on again. Now the app shows it and the powerline network devices. However, I’ve not yet been able to find anything the app itself can do particularly useful.

I think this is a great app to view and manage your Powerline network. I have (5) TP Link Powerlines and it’s really handy to see the connection speed between each individual Powerline. However I do find it frustrating that the Desktop app on my PC gives me more options, such as being able to change the QoS on each individual Powerline, which is something that cannot be done through the mobile app. This makes the app less accessible or provides less features if I did not own a PC. If the desktop tpPLC app features that run on my PC could be integrated into the mobile app then it would be 5 stars from myself and I’m sure many others would agree.

So now after about two weeks, these devices appear to become saturated after a few days and internet grinds to a halt. I have the SSID cloned, so same name throughout the house. So I find myself switching all off and on every morning. The data rate graphic usually shows second adapter around 11Mbps

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 !
WiFi Does now extend into the garden which it did not previously, so some success

Setup was ok, cloned network.
Variable data rate depending, according to graphic, on where the extenders are positioned, but that might be due to separate electrical circuits. Can quite remember which are on the new circuit. Changed names through mobile app, and expended this to be same for iPad app, but clearly not broadcast to other devices. For now working. Have to change router next week and rip it all apart so will see if goes back ok.

Week on and it quite often will not find devices, just says none available, clearly they are and I’m on the same network. Rather frustrating.

developer, check you error messages “Do not have a hyfi devices”. In this situation when I select LED, this is what reports!
