Hi sp3cn4z,

 

Welcome to Community!

 

This type of powerline adapters are using the stock firmwares and no firmwares available in support site. The firmware loaded depens on the manufactured date that is why they do not have the same firmware version. There are some powerline model that has an option to update firwmare using the powerline utility.


Regards,

    I have the same issue as many of us : the adapter keeps doing a soft reboot every 10min 

    I have 2 of these adapters, same issue.

    When I replace the adaptapers, on the same power socket (I've tried other socket also), with one of Devolo AV500+ or Netgear XAV5501, no issue at all.

     

    Is there away to fix this issue ?

     

    Thanks
