Very pleased, BUT !!

My router (Virgin Superhub2) has WPS disabled so I was unable to clone to the main SSID and password which is a bit of a bore as this was one of the main selling points for me. TP-Link support sent me a link for the download of a MAC app called Wireless PLC Device Scan which fails to find any devices at all on the network, although the tpPLC app on the same MAC sees the devices okay but doesn't let me change anything.

I've emailed back to them + await a response. Anyway, thanks for the comments - I'll update if there is any change.

Update - the MAC utilities did not work wirelessly, I borrowed a Windows Netbook and altered the SSID by logging in to the TP-Link plug on Ethernet. I'm now very happy with the setup - the sae network name throughout the house, no switching necessary, no problems so far.
