Creating a Powerline Network
NOTE: You will need at least one other 200Mbps Powerline Adapter to create a powerline network with the NP202WN. If you need another Powerline
Adapter, try another NP202WN or the NP201AV or NP204 (also available from NetComm).
You will need to connect one Powerline Adapter to your broadband modem/router.
It does not matter which powerline adapter you use to do this.
NOTE: We recommend you position the NP202WN closest to the point where you will access the Internet wirelessly. This will result in improved
performance.
Connect your other Powerline Adapter/s to any power point in your house to
complete your powerline network.
You will now be able to access the Internet with the NP202WN via the 2 LAN ports
or Wireless N.

You can connect multiple wireless devices, including laptops, desktops and PDA’s
to your NP202WN by following the 2 basic steps
1. Using your wireless device, scan the wireless networks in your area and select
the network that is the same as the Wireless SSID that is listed on the sticker
on the back of the device. Then click connect. The Wireless SSID will be in the
format NetComm_XXXXXX (where X can equal letters or numbers)
2. Enter the wireless security key for your device. The unique security key will be

Establishing Wireless Connection
64XXXXXX (Where the X’s are the same letters and/ or numbers in your
wireless SSID). Later releases of the NP202WN use the default wireless
security key of "a1b2c3d4e5" (no quotations).

Troubleshooting
WHAT CAN THE LEDS TELL ME?
The Powerline LED changes colour depending on the speed of your data transfer.
- Fastest - Faster - Fast
LED Off - Adapter not paired or wall socket not turned on.
