Question

How To Setup TP Link Powerline

I recently bought a new PC which I use for gaming (mostly online games like TF2). In order to play the games without lag, the sales assistant suggested I use an Ethernet connection rather than wireless. Since my computer is upstairs while my router is downstairs, I bought TP-Link powerline adapters that go through the house mains. However, at seemingly random times with no clear pattern, I will be disconnected from the Internet. The icon in the bottom left of my screen that shows my Internet connection will have a yellow warning triangle next to it, and I will be disconnected from any server I am on. Upon turning off the TP-Link adapters at the wall and turning them on again, the problem fixes itself and I am once again able to connect to the internet with no problem. How do I fix this issue?

Method 2: Through TP Link Powerline utility

Step 2: Connect your computer directly to the adapter. Then open the Utility and go to the Status page. Type in the Network Name and click the Apply button. The name should be more than 4 letters.

Step 3: Connect the computer to another adapter and repeat Step 2. The network name should be the same. In this way, all adapters will be on the same secured network.
