Hardware Installation
Installation
1. Plug in one of the DHP-208AV adapters and connect to your router with an Ethernet cable. The Power and Ethernet LEDs should both light up.
Recommendations
• For best results, use in a regular wall outlet without any other devices plugged in. Connecting this product to a power strip or a surge protector
may adversely aect the performance of this device.
• Avoid using the PowerLine adapters in an electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that uses a lot of power such as a washer, dryer,
refrigerator, microwave, hair dryer, or air conditioning unit.
• If you are having connection problems, plug in both adapters within the same room to determine whether your home’s electrical wiring is
contributing to the issue. The adapters’ PowerLine LED indicators will illuminate if the connection is established. Once congured, you may
move an adapter to another location.

2. Plug in the other DHP-208AV adapter in the room that you want to extend your network to. The Power LED will light up.
3. Verify that the PowerLine LEDs on both adapters are lit. If they are, the adapters are connected. If not, try another wall outlet (closer to the other
PowerLine adapter).
4. To secure your network, press the Simple Connect button for one second on one of the adapters. The Power LED will start to blink. Then, within two
minutes, press the Simple Connect button on the other adapter for one second. Once the Power LEDs stop blinking, verify that the PowerLine LEDs on
both adapters are lit (as in Step 3). This indicates that your adapters are properly connected to each other.
