PG-9172AC | AC1200 G.hn Powerline Adapter

Understanding the AC1200 G.hn Powerline Adapter

How to Create a Basic (2 unit) G.hn Powerline Network –Recommended Setup

*A G.hn Powerline Network can consist of a minimum of 2 and up to 16 devices total.

**The PG-9172 can be replaced by another G.hn Powerline Adapter.

NOTE: The following steps show how to create or add onto a G.hn Powerline Network using a PG-9172AC.

(A minimum of two G.hn Powerline Adapters are required to create a proper connection.)

!If this is the first time you are setting up a G.hn Powerline Network please continue to Section B.

!If you already have an established G.hn Powerline Network and are adding an additional adapter,

please skip to Section C.

Creating a New G.hn Network

1. Plug a PG-9172* unit into the power outlet closest to the Network Device (Modem, Router).Do not plug the adapter into a

power strip or surge protector, as network performance could degrade significantly.

*NOTE: It is suggested that you use the PG-9172 as the primary connection to the Network Device, however, the PG-9172 can be

replaced by another G.hn Powerline Adapter.

2. Connect the PG-9172 to a Network Device with an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. (Wait 10 seconds for the Network Indicator to

light up GREEN, which indicates a good connection. A flashing GREEN light indicates that the device has a good connection

and is also sending data).

Adding to an Existing G.hn Network

3. Plug the PG-9172AC into the power outlet closest to the location you want to add wireless and/or near an Internet-Enabled

Device you would like to directly connect to the adapter. The PLC Indicator should light up.

4. Optionally, to add an Internet-Enabled Device, directly connect the PG-9172AC to the Internet-Enabled Device with an

Ethernet cable. (The Network Indicator on the PG-9172 and the LAN Indicator of the PG-9172AC should both be

GREEN representing a strong connection).

Security Setup

NOTE: G.hn Adapters will automatically “pair” in “non-secure” mode. It is highly recommended to follow Step 5 to create a secure

connection.

5. Press the “Config” Button of a PG-9172 in the existing network for 2 seconds. You will see the Security Indicator start

flashing GREEN. Within two minutes, press the “PLC Sync” Button on the PG-9172AC for 2 seconds until you see the

Security Indicator start flashing GREEN.(When the adapters are successfully paired and secured with a strong

connection the PG-9172’s Connection Indicator and Security Indicator will be solid GREEN and the PG-9172AC’s

PLC Indicator and Security Indicator will be solid GREEN.)

6. Repeat Steps 3to 5to add additional adapters/devices.

Connecting Your WiFi Devices to the New PG-9172AC Access Point

7. For some devices (E.g. laptops, cameras, set-top-boxes, etc.) wireless connectivity can be done via WPS (Wireless Protected

Setup). WPS allows you to simply connect devices to the new Access Point without entering a username/password manually.

To do this, please follow the instructions in Section Fbelow.

8. You have created a new Internet Access Point and it is now active and ready to use! To connect your WiFi devices to your new

PG-9172AC WiFi Access Point, select the PG-9172AC Access Point using your WiFi device’s standard network list. The Network

Name (SSID) and Password (WiFi Key) can be found on the bottom of the PG-9172AC.

9. Go to Section G.

Setup of Wireless Devices via WPS (WiFi Protected Setup)

10. Press and hold the “WPS”Button for more than 2 seconds on the PG-9172AC to activate its WPS. The

PG-9172AC’s WiFi Indicators should flash to indicate a WPS connection is in progress.

11. Within two minutes, press the “WPS”Button (often the WPS/Reset Button) on your remote Internet-Enabled Devices to activate

WPS.

12. The devices will establish a secure connection.

Troubleshooting

The following information should help you diagnose basic setup or installation problems.

1) SECURITY Indicator is OFF: The SECURITY Indicator is off when the Powerline Adapter is paired in “non-secure”

mode to the G.hn Network. It is optional to pair the device in “secure mode.” To pair the device in “secure

mode," please refer to Section D, Step 5.

2) LAN Indicator is OFF: The LAN Indicator is off when the Powerline Adapter does not have a device directly

connected to its Ethernet Port. If there is a device connected and if the LAN Indicator is off, please check that

the Ethernet port of the Powerline Adapter is connected firmly to the Ethernet port of the device. You can also

check the condition of the Ethernet cable by using another Ethernet cable to test if the indicator turns on.

3) WiFi Indicatorsare OFF: The WiFi Indicators are off when the WiFi is not enabled. You can turn on both

indicators,(i.e. enable WiFi) by pressing the “WiFi”Button on the front of the device. You can also login to

the PG-9172AC Web Interface and enable WiFi (5GHz only). Please refer to section 6.5 of the User Manual for

additional details.

4) PLC Indicator is OFF: The PLC Indicator is off when the Powerline Adapter is not paired to the G.hn Network. If

this indicator is off, then plug both Powerline Adapters that you are attempting to pair into power outlets that

are located within the same room. All of the indicators of the device should blink (approx. 10 seconds), and

the PLC Indicator should light up. If the PLC Indicator does not light up, it may indicate the existing G.hn network

is secure and you have to pair the PG-9172AC to it in “secure mode.” To do so, press the “Config" Button on the PG-9172 for 2 seconds (Holding for

more than 4 seconds will clear the security key and require a re-pairing). Within 2 minutes, press the "PLC Sync" Button on the PG-9172AC for 2

seconds. The PLC Indicator will then light up GREEN. Afterwards, you can plug the units back into their original location.

* If you have tried all of the above and are still experiencing problems, you can reset all devices to factory default by pushing the “Reset”Button on

the PG-9172AC for more than 10 seconds AND the “Config” Button on the PG-9172 for 10 seconds.
