If your network connections begins acting erratically, you may want to reset the
Homelink Phoneline Router.
To reset your Homelink Phoneline Router, do the following:
1. Shut down all of your network components.
2. Disconnect the Homelink Phoneline Router’s power supply and wait five
seconds.
3. Plug the Homelink Phoneline Router’s power supply back into the power
outlet.
Daisy-chaining your HomeLink PCs and peripherals can create a simple net-
work that acts in the same way an Ethernet network acts on your PC's desktop.
While Ethernet networks usually revolve in a star topology around a hub or
switch, phoneline networks link together like a string of Christmas lights. In a
HomeLink network, data passes into on one side of a port, and a new telephone
cable continues out from the port’s other side. You can string up to 30 PCs on
a single HomeLink network, provided that the entire length of cable does not
exceed 300 meters (1000 feet).
HomeLink networks can send data through existing telephone lines without
disrupting your telephone service, connecting over your existing telephone
jacks. If you have PCs on two different floors of your house, plug one of the
downstairs PCs into the phone jack in the wall, and you're able to network your
PCs upstairs without running excessive amounts of extra cable.
