Preface
BVH-5101 is a wireless AP device with PowerLine Communication (PLC) capability. With
the latest 500Mbps PLC technology (Homeplug AV), crossing-floor communication in a
concrete building, which has been a big problem for wireless networking, is made as a
extreme reliable product. Its cutting edge 802.11n wireless technology provides the highest
wireless throughput for devices in the same floor. Embedded 1T1R MIMO antenna makes it
easy for wall installation.
This product is suitable for general users to operate in their homes/houses, while advanced
configurations through web-browser described in later chapters are suitable for seasoned
users to change and manage the Powerline Wireless N Extender product settings. To use
these chapters, you should have experience working with the TCP/IP configuration and be
familiar with the concepts and terminology of local area networks.

Important Safety Notes
BVH-5101 is intended for connection to the AC power line. For installation instructions, refer
to the Installation section. The following precautions should be taken when using this
product.
zPlease read all instructions before installing and operating this product.
zPlease keep all instructions for later reference.
zPlease follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
zFor safety reason, when device is being powered on, this product should NOT be
installed in any electric socket which makes the surface with venting holes on
the product to face downward (facing the floor).
zUnplug the Powerline device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry cloth
for cleaning. DO NOT use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
zDO NOT operates this product near water.
zThis product should never be placed near or over a radiator, or heat register.
zThis product relies on the building’s electrical installation for short-circuit (over current)
protection.
zDO NOT allow anything to rest on the product interconnect plug. DO NOT locates this
product where people may walk on the cords.
zBecause this product sends data over the power line, it is recommended that you plug
directly into a power outlet. Do not plug the device into a UPS or power strip with surge
protection. The product has its own power filter for protection against surges.
zOnly a qualified technician should service this product. Opening or removing covers
may result in exposure to dangerous voltage points or other risks.
zUnplug the product from the wall outlet and refer the product to qualified service
personnel for the following conditions:
¾When the interconnect cords are damaged or frayed.
¾If liquid has been spilled into the product.
¾If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
¾If the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are
followed.

500 Mbps Powerline Bridge (BVP-5100)
LEDs
Power LED
Green
ON: Power on and ready.
BLINKING:
During group pairing procedure (creating an encrypted PLC
network). In this procedure, the device is creating or being joined into
same logical network and will continue 2 minutes blinking, until the
procedures succeed or canceled. To enter or cancel group pairing
procedure, just press the group button 2~3 sec.
OFF: Power off.
PLC LED
Green
ON: Powerline link with other PLC device but no powerline traffic.
BLINKING:
1. Fast blinking: Powerline data rate higher than 80Mbps.
2. Normal blinking: Powerline data rate between 40Mbps to 80Mbps.
3. Slow blinking: Powerline data rate slower than 40Mbps.
OFF: Powerline link not detected (either other devices in same network is
too far to communicate or it is alone in its logical network).
WLAN Link / Act LED

Ethernet Link / Act
LED
ON: Ethernet Link Detected.
BLINKING: Ethernet traffic detected.
OFF: No Ethernet Link detected.
Buttons
WPS Button
Press it to enable PBC (Press Button Configuration) for WPS authentication.
When WPS function is started, the WLAN Link / Act LED will be blinking.
Group Button
Press 1 to 3 seconds ( until the Power LED blinking ) and release button: this
will enter group pairing procedure(creating an encrypted PLC network).
In this procedure, the device starts joining into a logical network of other
device or announcing its network group name for other devices to join. This
maximum two-minute procedure automatically ends when it succeeds or is
manually stopped. Press this button 2 to 3 seconds will manually stop the
procedure.
Press 10 seconds (until Power LED blink once and PLC LED off):clear the
current and randomly generate a new network group name.
Power Button Push to turn on and off the power of PWQ-5101
Reset Button
(inside the needle
pin hole)
Press the button when the device is powered on (not standby) to complete
following functions:
Pushing 1 second and release : will make both PLC and Wi-Fi FW settings
back to factory default.
NOTE: Every new PLC devices’ factory default PLC network group name is
HomePlugAV. During trouble shooting the powerline network group
assignment, doing this to every PLC devices will make each device return to
default network group, thus ensure their mutual communicability.

Ch 2. Hardware Installation
Once you check everything from the package, you can start to deploy the PLC devices. To connect
this AP wirelessly need to search and connect the SSID (Wi-Fi name) of this device:
BVH-5101_XXXXXX (factory default is no wireless security setting)
Please see the following application diagrams for different application connections of this device.
Application 1 – Link to Remote DSL via Powerline
Via Powerline technology, the Powerline Wireless N Extender can access DSL modem at other
floors for internet accesses. Note that this needs another Powerline to Ethernet Bridge device at
other floor and is connected to internet, so that connection between Powerline to Ethernet Bridge
and Powerline to Ethernet Bridge can be done through the embedded PLC technology.
