Getting Started

or wireless networks by extending your signal using the electrical wiring.
Plug 2 or more compatible Powerline 500 devices into electrical outlets to
create or extend your wired home network. In addition to Powerline 500
devices, you can add Homeplug AV certified adapters, for a total of up to
16 devices. For a complete list of Homeplug AV certified devices, go to
http://www.homeplug.org/certified_products.
You can use the Pick A Plug feature to choose the best combination of
outlets.
You can use the Security button on each Powerline device to secure the
links between the Powerline devices.
