PS: thinking about this again, would an earlier model from the TP-LINK range be capable of still delivering the required 100Mbs PLC link as well as GB ethernet to the conservatory NAS as, maybe, that would run a bit slower and not get so warm, and so, hopefully, be less likely to fail - and, if...

Thx to both of you for the advice. In fact I found the basic problem was actually another network switch between the main network upstairs and the downstairs section - should have checked it and found that duff wallwart PSU before I started mucking around with the PLC section. Nevertheless...

Hi All I am obliged by the layout of the house to use a PLC link from the main house Gigbit Cat 5E network to the CCTV NVR in the attic. To date I've been using TP-link TP_PA8033PKIT's kits (with the UK BS1363 3-pin plug & socket configuration) for this, and have had little or no trouble with...

Thanks, again, to all of you who have provided me with all those valuable links and data. I probably now have enough to take a good shot at meshing the two units and I aim to try that within the next few days - and then hope to be able to report "good progress" by the end of next week.:)

@OzarkEdge Thank you very much for those notes - lot of info there which I have yet to read, but I will! :) My apologies, Commonwealth Brother, for confusing your location with that of, presumably (??), the "next door neighbour", and thus for the exact wording of my comment - but I'm sure all...

PS: losing some of those facilities won't be much of a loss because we will probably be moving to a bungalow some distance from the next one and because we probably won't be getting a huge number of visitors - therefore "privacy" issues should be less than if we in much closer proximity to our...

@bennor: Sorry if you may have misunderstood some of my first post, but I've had years of searching online and so I have no problem in identifying & using "Search boxes" - the problem being as to what to search for as the same "thing" can be called many different names by many different people...

@bbunge: Thanks and I should have no problems (plenty of cables) with that bit!

Good afternoon (well, it is in the UK :)) and I apologise in advance if this question has been raised before (because it probably has) but I don't know where to look! I've just replaced my RT-AC66U B1 running the house LAN & WLAN with a new RT-AX86U Pro (from Amazon) and the system is now...

Good afternoon, and my apologies for not responding yesterday. However, things have "taken a turn for the worse" with the RT-AC87U - this is an Amazon Marketplace (UK) unit which was received last weekend but has now locked up and failed to "communicate" at all twice in the last few days after...

Colin Thank you very much for the clarifications - I will take a look at the logs and see what I find. BTW: do any wireless routers support separate "Accept" and "Reject" lists of MAC addresses? John

Good day from a newbie here with a couple of questions to which I couldn't find answers here (or elsewhere to-date) on Wireless MAC filtering on the above router which I bought recently, and then updated to f/w version 3.0.0.4.382_50701. What I would like to do is to set the filter to Accept...
