Chapter 2 Use Your Powerline Adapter This chapter guides you on how to use the powerline adapter.
Chapter 2 2. 1. Use Your Powerline Adapter Before You Start Powerline adapters work in pairs. You should have at least two powerline products to build a powerline network. To optimize your network performance, please follow these principles: • All powerline adapters should be on the same electrical wiring system. • Avoid plugging in powerline adapters and high-powered household devices (such as washing machines and refrigerators) close to one another.
Chapter 2 2. 2. Use Your Powerline Adapter Extend Your Wired Network by Plug & Play I want to: Use two powerline adapters to set up a new powerline network in my house. For example, I have a router in my house, but there are not enough LAN ports for all my wired devices. I don’t want complex and expensive cabling. People told me that I can solve this problem with two powerline adapters. How can I do that? 1.
Chapter 2 2. 3. Use Your Powerline Adapter Secure Your Powerline Network by Pairing All powerline adapters share some common factory settings, and can communicate with one another. If you want your powerline adpaters to communicate only with your own powerline adapters, you should pair them. Thus a secured powerline network is formed and other powerline adapters can no longer join your powerline network without being paired. Note: You can only pair two devices at a time.
Chapter 2 2. 4. Use Your Powerline Adapter Add Another Powerline Adapter I want to: Add a new powerline adapter into the existing powerline network to extend my network. For example, I’ve already set up a powerline network using powerline devices, but the network does not reach everywhere I need it to. I purchased another one to further extend my network. How can I do that? 1. Plug the new powerline adapter into a wall outlet near one of the existing powerline devices.
