2.5 How to use a power strip with the PG-9141s-PoE
If you must plug your adapter into a power strip, we suggest you use a basic power
strip as the more advanced ones have a filter that can interfere with the Powerline
signal.
SURGE PROTECTED POWER STRIPS: Avoid plugging PowerGrid
units into power strips with surge protection as this will reduce
network speed and may even prevent their use.
2.6 How to understand the STATUS LED colors
The STATUS LED displays quality of the network and provides important
information that will provide solutions to common questions, such as why a High
Definition (HD) movie is not showing or shows with pixels. The STATUS LED
indicator will vary its color depending on the estimated speed of the Powerline
connection. The speed is measured in Megabits Per Second (Mbps).
Color
Information

Normal network traffic (ex. the connection speed is
between 1 and 40 Megabits per second).
ORANGE
Good network traffic (ex. the connection speed is
between 40 and 90 Megabits per second).
GREEN
Excellent network traffic (ex. the connection speed is
more than 90 Megabits per second).
