3 Troubleshooting and Disclaimer
If the PWR500 have difficulty communicating with each other, check the following:
Try power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the wall for 10 seconds and plugging it in again.
Hold the security/reset button down for more than 15 seconds to reset to default setting. The HomePlug AV
nano
Ethernet Bridge’s light will flash, the units will reset and attempt to link using default factory settings.
Try plugging the PWR500 PLC Adapter into an adjacent plug.
PWR500 PLC Adapter work better when plugged directly into the wall outlet. Connecting these Ethernet Bridg-
es to a power strip or surge protector may degrade network performance or completely stop network signals.
This PWR500 PLC Adapter should not be used on GFI protected outlets as some outlets will filter out
HomePlug Powerline signal.
This PWR500 PLC Adapter should not be used in areas with excessive heat.
Certain florescent or incandescent lights are noise sources on the electrical and can degrade performance.
If your building has more than one circuit breaker box, your PWR500 PLC Adapter may not be able to connect
between the different circuit breaker boxes. In this case, connect one HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridge to a power
outlet located on each of the circuit boxes. Connect Ethernet cable between each of PWR500s to link the dif-
ferent circuits together. This will allow PWR500s from different circuit breaker boxes to connect.
To enter standby mode for this device, simply remove the Ethernet cable and wait about 3 minutes.
