Initial Powerline Adapter Setup
NOTE: A minimum of two G.hn Powerline Adapters are required.
→If you are setting up a G.hn Powerline network for the first time, then follow the below steps.
→If you are adding to an existing G.hn Powerline network, then skip to Steps 3-4.
1. Plug one Powerline Adapter into a power outlet near your Network
Device (Modem, Router, or Access Point).
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 your Network Device (Modem, Router, or Access Point) with an
Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. Wait 10 seconds for the Ethernet LED to light up GREEN, which indicates a
connection is established. A flashing GREEN light indicates that the device is sending data.

3. Plug the additional Powerline Adapter into a power outlet near the Internet-enabled device (ex.
TV, PC, STB, DVR, etc.).
4. Connect this Powerline Adapter to the Internet-enabled device (ex. TV, PC, STB, DVR, etc.). with an
Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. The Connection LED and Ethernet LED on the front of both Powerline
Adapters should be GREEN, which represents a strong connection.

Adapter in the existing G.hn Powerline network until you see the Security LED start blinking GREEN.
Then press the Security Button on the Powerline Adapter you are adding until you see the Security LED
start blinking GREEN.. The Security LED and the Connection LED will light up GREEN on all adapters
within the G.hn Powerline network.

The following information should help you diagnose basic setup or installation problems.
Connection LED is OFF: The Connection LED shows that the Powerline Adapter is connected to the
G.hn Network. If the indicator is off, then plug both Powerline Adapters that you are attempting to pair
into power outlets that are located within the same room. The Connection LED should light up GREEN. If
not, then press the Reset Button on each adapter for more than 10 seconds. Afterwards, you can plug
the units back into their original location.
Ethernet LED is OFF: If the Ethernet LED fails to light up, check that the LAN port of the Powerline
Adapter is connected firmly to the LAN port of the other device. To check the condition of the Ethernet
cable, use another cable to test the same connection.
Security LED is OFF: If the Security LED is off, then it means the Powerline Adapter is not securely
paired. Press the Security Button on the Powerline Adapter for 3 seconds until you see the Security LED
start flashing GREEN.Repeat this on the other Powerline Adapter. The Security LED and the Connection
LED will light up GREEN on both adapters. This means the adapters are now securely paired and have a
strong connection.
To join an existing G.hn Powerline network, press the Security Button on any Powerline Adapter in the
existing G.hn Powerline network for 3 seconds until you see the Security LED start flashing GREEN. Then
press the Security Button on the additional Powerline Adapter. The Security LED and the Connection LED
will light up GREEN on both adapters.
*If you have tried the above and are still experiencing problems, you can reset all devices to factory default by pushing the Reset
Button for more than 10 seconds (until all the LEDs of the device blink).
