Connection via power strip
If you must connect this device to a power strip, please keep the following recommendation
in mind:
• Make sure the power strip does not have a noise filter or a surge protector, as these
features may impair communication signaling of the Powerline device sent over the
electric wiring, and its throughput or distance will be degraded.
• Use a power strip with an AC cord that is as short as possible.
• Do not connect the adaptor to a power strip that receives power from another power
strip.
