How to add more Powerline extenders to your 

existing network 

You can expand your home network by adding more extenders to your existing kit. 

1

  Plug your additional broadband extender directly into a wall power socket. 

Make sure the socket’s switched on. 

2

  Press the Link button on that extender for 5 to 8 seconds. Wait for the Power light to 

go back to steady green. 

3

  Press the Link button again, this time for 1 second. 

4

  Within 2 minutes, press the Link button on one of the broadband extenders already 

in your home for 1 second to complete the connection to the network. 

5

  Wait for connection to complete. If everything’s okay, the Power and Data indicators 

on the new extender will light up.

TIP: you might find it easier to plug your new broadband extender in the same 
double power socket or near one of your existing ones whilst you set things up.
