* D-Link recommends that to ensure best performance, you should ensure you plug the DHP-342
directly into a wall socket. Plugging the device into a power strip may increase the possibility of
noise and interference in the network and therefore lead to below optimal performance.

- Plug the DHP-342’s directly into a wall socket and not into a power strip since some power strips
have surge protectors that may block power line signals.
- If this is not possible, then try plugging the device/s into a different power strip that is less
populated.
- Check that there are no other interfering appliances plugged into the same power strip,
particularly mobile phone chargers or hair dryers as Powerline networks are very sensitive to
electrical interference.
