Does anyone have any experience with these? Have just moved house to a rented property and struggling to get these to work. Our house is next door to the landlords who had the house built for their father a few years ago. Our electric runs through the electric meter in their house.
I have read that the sockets need to be on the same circuit etc but I'm extremely lacking skills/knowledge with electrics. I've tried the 2 adapters in the adjacent plug socket to no success.
Any help is very welcomed! Thanks!!!
Have you synced the adaptors together?
Usually they're just plug in and go, only gets tricky if you want to add to an existing network. Adjacent wall sockets should work. Adjacent sockets in a surge protected extension lead won't.
It's possible that they're not joined to the same network correctly - did they come with pairing instructions? TP-Link, for example, have a nice visual network viewing tool that you can download and, if you're plugged in to one adapter, view the network from its perspective.
Mine just plug in and work. No need to be on the same circuit. As above try pairing them. Mine have a button on to do this.
Had a bit of faff getting ours set up initially. Bought 2 sets of TP link; one wifi pack (1 wifi unit and 1 single ethernet unit) and one wired pack (2 x triple ethernet units). Initially connected the router to the single ethernet unit and it connected to the wifi unit, but not the triple ethernet units. Switched it round and connected the router to a triple ethernet and problem was solved. No idea why.
We now have 3 wifi access points throughout the house (router, wifi unit and using an old router connected to one of the ethernet units as an access point). Overkill, but my husband loves to over-engineer solutions 🙄
Yeah I've tried syncing. Had them set up in my old house with no problems. They-re both TP-Link adapters so shouldn't be any compatibility issues. Have also had a look through the software, which doesn't 'see' the second adapter.
