Problem connecting to TP Link Powerline Extender (TL-WPA4220)

[Bobkwando]

Hi, I have problems connecting to the WiFi network of the above powerline extender. I have set the SSID and password through Ethernet connection, but I cannot connect to it wirelessly. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!

Did you read the instructions on how to set it up? At the plug and play section it doesn't mention anywhere you have to do any setting.

How exactly can you not connect to it wirelessly? Does the SSID not show up on your device? Does the request for the wifi key not pop up? does the wifi connect but have a limited connection? Etc....?

The SSID shows up and I know I have entered the correct password but I am unable to connect to it.

Have you tried plugging to it via the Ethernet port to make sure its properly connected to your main network ???

I bought TL-WPA4220 Powerline Extender connected to a TL-WPA2220Kit.
I used to have wifi problems with WPA4220: connection dropping twice a day, broadcast/DCHP not assigning ip address, specially with IPhone and IMac (PCs and Androids less problems). Sometimes assigning static IP address would work (but not for more than 1 or 2 days) so I plugged another wifi router to the WPA4220 as a workaround.
A few days ago, I realized that my firmware (v1-EU) was not updated as I had thought. TPLink download page in Brazil didnt have the latest firmware version, it show April,2014. Visiting TPLink page in Portugal I found a new firmware dated May,2016.
Both are same region v1(EU) and it worked for me. My problem is apparently solved.
