There is no issue with the firmware.
The new firmware includes a new power save feature, which puts the PowerLine units to sleep if there is no network activity from the RJ45 port.
- when a unit goes into the power saving, it would shutdown the powerline to save power, so it’s not connected through the powerline. The utility will not see the unit.
