Installing Your Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter
Prepare for installation:
1.
Before you begin, verify the following:
•
Your Ethernet network is set up.
•
An Ethernet port is available on your router.
•
Your Internet connection is working.
•
An Ethernet port is available on each computer that will use a Powerline AV 200 Wireless-
N Extender and is configured to work on your network. Usually, the default configuration
settings (TCP/IP and DHCP) are fine
.
2.
Familiarize yourself with the Powerline AV 200 Wireless-N Extender.
The front panel has three lights: Power, Powerline, and Ethernet. The side panel has a Security
button, and a Reset button. The Ethernet port is located on the bottom of the adapter. See
3.
Plan the location of your Powerline devices:
•
Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall
switch to avoid someone unknowingly turning off the
power to the outlet.
•
Do not connect the Powerline AV 200 Wireless-N
Extender to a power strip, extension cord, or surge
protector as this might prevent it from working
correctly, or reduce the network performance.
•
Avoid using the Powerline AV 200 Wireless-N Extender
in an electrical outlet that is located near an appliance
that uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, or a
refrigerator. This could potentially prevent the adapter
from working correctly, or reduce network
performance.
