SETTING UP YOUR POWERLINE
ADAPTERS

Router
1. Using one of the supplied Ethernet cables connect one end into the
LAN Ethernet port of your modem/router.
2. Connect the other end of the same cable into one of the
Powerline adapters.
3. Connect the Powerline adapter to a power point near your
modem/router.
NOTE: For best performance plug your Powerline adapters directly into the wall.
Only connect to a powerboard as a last resort as this will reduce performance.

4. Connect one end of the other supplied Ethernet cable into the
Ethernet port of any device you want to connect to the Internet (PC,
set-top box, gaming console, PVR, blu-ray player etc).
5. Connect the other end of the cable into the second Powerline adapter.
6. Connect the Powerline adapter to a power point near your device.
NOTE: For best performance plug your Powerline adapters directly into the wall.
Only connect to a powerboard as a last resort as this will reduce performance.
At this point, you can plug another electrical appliance into the Powerline
adapter’s AC pass-through socket if you wish to do so.
Both adapters will take a short time to nd each other. Once they have, all
three lights on both adapters should be on.
NOTE: For best performance connect other electrical devices to the AC Pass-
through socket of the Powerline adapter. If possible, also avoid plugging
other electrical devices into the socket next to the Powerline adapter to
ensure your network performs to its full potential.

LEDS
What can the LEDs tell me?
The Powerline LED changes colour depending on the speed of your
data transfer.

LED Off- The adapter is not paired or wall socket not
turned on.
NOTE: The devices work on the same electrical circuit with the same circuit
breaker. When they are on different circuit breakers they wont work and
the LED will be off.
- Lights up when a device is connected to the adapter via an
Ethernet cable
- Lights up when the adapter is connected to a power point
NOTE: If an Adapter is connected to power, but it is not connected to a device by
Ethernet cable, the Adapter will enter a power saving mode and all LED’s

TROUBLE SHOOTING
My Powerline adapters will not connect to each other
1. Connect all adapters to powerpoints near each other in the same
room (or temporarily to a powerboard)
2. Press and hold down the security button on one of the adapters for
10 seconds, or until the LED’s ash. This will reset the password on
that device.
3. Press and hold the security button on the same adaptor (as used
in step 2) for 2 seconds. This will put the adapter in pairing mode.
When the adapter is in pairing mode, the LED will ash.
4. Finally hold the security button on the second adaptor for 2
seconds to complete the pairing process. When pairing is
complete, the LED on both adapters will be lit. Both adapters
now share the same password and will be able to communicate with
each other.
