Powerline Connections: Powerline LED color indicates the strength and quality of
the Powerline connection through the electrical system. The following factors may
affect the Powerline network’s connection quality:
• Ground Wire – TPL-421E using all 3 wires for data transmission in accurate
wiring may still supply power to your apparatus and TPL-421E, but will down
grade the performance.
• Noise – Generated by appliances which use your electrical system (e.g.
Microwaves, ovens, hair dryer, irons, dishwashers, etc.). The quality of your
household electrical wiring may also cause additional noise on your electrical
system.
• Distance – Long lengths of electrical wiring through your electrical system
between connected Powerline adapters.
