Add an Adapter to an Existing Powerline Network
You can add additional adapters to an existing Powerline network.
To add an adapter to a Powerline network:
1.
Plug the adapter into a wall outlet where you want to add Internet access.
2.
(Optional) Use the Ethernet cable that came with your adapter to connect the adapter to an Ethernet port on a
computer, game console, Blu-ray player, or other peripheral device.
The Powerline devices attempt to detect each other and form a Powerline network.
3.
If you used a private encryption key, press the Security button on one of the adapters that is already a part of
the network for two seconds, and then press the Security button on the new adapter for two seconds.
Both buttons must be pressed within two minutes.
See
Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key
on page 14.
WARNING:
Do not press the Security button on the Powerline adapter until installation is complete
and the adapters are communicating with each other (indicated by the blinking Power
LED). Pressing this button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline communication.
If this occurs, use the Factory Reset button to return the Powerline adapter to its
factory default settings.
The Security button does not work in power saving mode.
Note
4.
Wait for the Powerline network to recognize each Powerline device.
This process could take as little as 5 seconds or up to 80 seconds.
