Understanding the Powerline Adapter
Initial Device Setup
NOTE: A minimum of two G.hn Powerline Adapters are required to create a proper connection. Follow Steps
1-4 to add additional G.hn Adapters to your network.
1. Plug the Powerline Adapter into the power outlet.
Note: For maximum performance, please plug the Powerline Adapter directly into the wall outlet. Do not plug
into a power strip or surge protector, as network performance could degrade significantly.
2. Connect the Powerline Adapter to a network device with an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. (Wait 10 seconds for
Network Indicator to light up GREEN which indicates a good connection, a flashing GREEN light indicates that
the device is sending data).

Network Indicators on the front of both Powerline Adapters should be GREEN representing a strong

follow Steps 5 and 6 to create a secure connection.
5. Press the “Config” Button for 3 seconds till you see the Security Indicator start flashing GREEN on EACH
of the Powerline Adapters you want to be “connected.” (The Security Indicator will light up GREEN when
successfully connected AND the Connection Indicator on the front of the Powerline Adapter should be
solid GREEN when they are paired ~ representing a strong connection).
6. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 to add additional adapters/devices. Please note that up to 16 devices can be
connected to a Powerline G.hn Network.
