Multiport Broadband Extender

  If you are having problems synchronising one or more extenders, try resetting them 

to their default factory settings. Most extenders have a Reset (Link) button that 
does this. Refer to the extender user guide for more detailed information on how 
to add more powerline devices.

  Swap devices to help check and isolate a problem with a particular extender unit.

  To check if your home’s electrical wiring is affecting your broadband extenders, 

try plugging in extenders in the same room. Some old wiring or fuse boxes might 
affect your network performance. 

  House appliances that draw large amounts of power, like refrigerators, freezers, 

microwaves and air conditioning systems, might cause interference with your network.

  For best network performance, use broadband extenders from BT.
