network connection.You can use the wired network connection to bring Internet connectivity to any device
with an Ethernet port, such as a computer, game console, Blu-ray player, smart TV, HD set-top box, or
network DVR.

How the PowerLINE Adapter Fits IntoYour Network
You can use one or more PowerLINE adapters to extend Internet access throughout your home.
A PowerLINE network consists of two or more compatible PowerLINE devices that communicate with each
other using your electrical power lines.One of the PowerLINE devices is connected with an Ethernet cable
to your router so that the PowerLINE network is linked to your local area network (LAN). Connecting one
PowerLINEdevice to yourrouter allowsallthePowerLINEdevices on the PowerLINEnetworkto communicate
with the router and use its Internet connection.
The following illustration shows a PowerLINE network with one PowerLINE device in Room 1 and a second
PowerLINE device in Room 2.
Figure 2. Poweline adapters connecting two rooms
To form a PowerLINE network, you need at least two compatible PowerLINE devices.

PowerLINE 2000
For best performance, follow these guidelines when you plan the location of your PowerLINE devices:
•Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid accidentally turning off the power
to the outlet.
•Avoid plugging PowerLINE products into electrical outlets that are located near appliances that consume
a lot of power, such as washers, dryers, or refrigerators. Interference from these appliances might
prevent PowerLINE products from working correctly or reduce PowerLINE network performance.
•Do not plug PowerLINE products into a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector. Connecting a
PowerLINE product to one of these devices might prevent the product from working correctly or reduce
PowerLINE network performance.
Set Up a New PowerLINE Network
You can use two or more PowerLINE adapters to form a network or extend an existing network to additional
wired Ethernet devices.
PowerLINE networks use an encryption key common to all adapters on the network.You can use the default
key or a private key.We recommend that you use a private key.This procedure sets a private key.
To set up a new PowerLINE network:
1. If you are extending an existing wired network, make sure that your wired Ethernet connections are
working by navigating to a web page from a computer connected to your router or gateway using an
Ethernet cable.
2. Plug one PowerLINE device into a wall outlet near your router or gateway.
