When  the  Powerline  Activity  LED   on  either 

HomePlug  X  or HomePlug Y  is  off,  this  means 

the  pairing  is  not  successful.  In  this  case,  you 

need to redo the entire process again. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 
 
 
 

 

Step 5 

Unplug  the  HomePlug  AVs  and  then  connect  them  to  your  Ethernet  devices  using  the 

Ethernet cables from the product package. After connecting the Ethernet cable, plug the 

HomePlugs directly to a wall outlet.  

An Ethernet-enabled device can be a router, computer, hub, gaming console, IP phone, 

network printer, or IP TV set-top box. 

Note:

Note:

Note:

Note: HomePlug AVs work best when connected directly to a wall socket. Avoid plugging it to a power strip 

or power extension. Other electrical devices in the power strip produce electrical noise that may affect the 

performance of the HomePlug.
