Chapter 2 Use Your Powerline Adapter
2. 2. Extend Your Wired Network by Plug & Play
I want to:

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

1. Connect one of the powerline adapters to an available LAN port of the router using
an Ethernet cable.
2. Plug the powerline adapter into a wall outlet.
3. Plug the other powerline adapter into a wall outlet on the same electrical circuit at

turns on.
Note: If the Powerline LED does not turn on, refer to FAQ-Q2 for instructions.
4. Connect your wired device, such as a computer or game console, to the powerline
adapter via an Ethernet cable.
