adapters on the same electrical wiring system cannot connect to your network. This is most

common in apartment buildings or oces.

a. Plug the Powerline Adapter into an

available power outlet.

b. Use the included cable to connect it to an

available network port on your router /

network.

I cannot get the Powerline Adapter to connect (no Powerline LED).

a. Unplug the Adapter from the power outlet and wait 10 seconds before plugging it back in.

Ensure the Powerline is plugged in and on.

b. Reset all Powerline Adapters by holding down the Reset button for 12 seconds. Once released,

the LEDs will flash. Once reset, the Adapters will attempt to connect with default settings.

c. Move the Adapter to another power outlet.

d. Check that the Adapter is NOT attached to a GFI protected power outlet. Some GFI protected

power outlets filter out Powerline signals.

e. If your building has more than one circuit breaker box, the Adapter may not be able to

communicate between the two circuit breaker boxes. Locate an available power outlet for

each circuit breaker. Attach one Adapter on each power outlet. Attach an Ethernet cable

between both Adapters to allow the Adapters to bridge the two circuit breaker boxes. Attach

additional Adapters to continue your set up process.

I cannot get a good connection on my Powerline Adapter (Powerline LED is always red).

a. Check that the Adapter is NOT attached to a surge protector.

b. Check that the Adapter is NOT attached to a power outlet with a phone/tablet charger

also attached.

c. Check that the Adapter is NOT attached to a GFI protected power outlet. Some GFI protected

power outlets filter out Powerline signals.
