Use Your Powerline Adapter

2  2   Extend Your Wired Network by Plug & Play

Use two powerline adapters to set up a new powerline network 
in my house.

For example,

 I have a router in my house, but there are not enough 

LAN ports for all my wired devices. I don’t want complex and 
expensive cabling. People told me that I can solve this problem 
with two powerline adapters.

1  

Connect one of the powerline adapters to an available LAN 
port of the router using an Ethernet cable.

2  

Plug the powerline adapter into a wall outlet.

3  

Plug the other powerline adapter into a wall outlet on the 
same electrical circuit at the place you want Internet. Wait 
until the powerline LED   turns on.

Note:

 If the Powerilne LED does not turn on, reset each powerline adapter 

to its factory default settings. Refer to  

How do I reset my powerline 

adapter?

 for detailed information.

4  

Connect your wired device, such as a computer or game 
console, to the powerline adapter via an Ethernet cable.
