Power Save Switch Utitlity

[BrianSemiglia]

TPLink routers are known for their issues due to their power-save-mode. TPLink has released a utility to disable that feature but unfortunately it's only available for Windows. Their utility also uses packet interception. I'm wondering if your project could be used to create a similar utility for non-windows platforms. If this interests you, I'd love to help (with my limited packet capturing/editing/replaying knowledge). Something like this would be really useful.

I don't own such a product so I can't test it. But by the looks of it, the tool offered makes use of the Homeplug AV Protocol to configure the powerline devices directly over Ethernet. I was able to capture the discovery request with wireshark. You can try to capture a whole powersave enable/disable sequence and send me the dump/pcap of it. Just use "homeplug-av" as a capture filter since wireshark understands the protocol quite well.

Thanks for your mail. I'll play with it soon ;)

Small status update: I'm currently quite busy and don't know, when I am able to continue the work on this whole tp-link thing.

No sweat. I'll take anything I can get. Thanks again for your help.
