A powerline network requires at least two powerline devices. We use
the powerline adapter TL-PA4010 as an example to work with TL-
WPA4220.
Note: If your home or ofce already has powerline adapters, remove
them rst, install TL-WPA4220 using Method 1 or Method 2, and then
add your existing adapters to the powerline network.
