How much power do Powerline Adapters use and how much do they
cost each month in electricity?
•
The adapters use 3.5 Watts when in use and 0.45 Watts in standby. Prices
vary between electricity suppliers.
10. How can I check that my Powerline Adapters are working
properly?
•
Your Powerline Adapters are set to work together as a pair, and should
work perfectly out of the box. The best way to test them is to find a
double plug socket, and plug them in next to each other. Often the
best place to find a double plug socket is in your kitchen. Alternatively
plug them into a trailing extension strip (but not an anti-surge strip).
•
When plugged in, after 10 seconds, the Powerline Adapters will
configure themselves so that each has a green status light.
•
If the Powerline Adapters don’t configure themselves as above, you
need to follow the reset procedure (described above).
•
When your Powerline Adapters are connected to a device the Ethernet
light should light up. When you’re using the service the Ethernet light
will flash. You may notice that the Status Light on one or both
Powerline Adapters changes to red or orange. This isn’t something to
worry about if you are not having any problems with your connection.
