Chapter 2

Use Your Powerline Adapter

This chapter guides you on how to use the powerline adapter.

It contains the following sections:

• Before You Start

• Extend Your Wired Network by Plug & Play

• Secure Your Powerline Network by Pairing

• Add Another Powerline Adapter

• Manage Your Powerline Network via tpPLC Utility

Chapter 2 Use Your Powerline Adapter

2. 1. Before You Start

Powerline adapters work in pairs. You should have at least two powerline products to

build a powerline network. To optimize your network performance, please follow these

principles:

• All powerline adapters should be on the same electrical wiring system.

• Avoid plugging in powerline adapters and high-powered household devices (such as

washing machines and refrigerators) close to one another.

• Plug the powerline adapter directly into a wall outlet. Do not plug the powerline adapter

into a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector.

2. 2. Extend Your Wired Network by Plug & Play

Use two powerline adapters to set up a new powerline network

in my house.

For example, I have a router in my house, but there are not enough

LAN ports for all my wired devices. I don’t want complex and

expensive cabling. People told me that I can solve this problem

with two powerline adapters.

1. Connect one of the powerline adapters to an available LAN

port of the router using an Ethernet cable.

2. Plug the powerline adapter into a wall outlet.

3. Plug the other powerline adapter into a wall outlet on the

same electrical circuit at the place you want Internet. Wait

until the powerline LED turns on.

Note: If the Powerilne LED does not turn on, reset each powerline

adapter to its factory default settings. Refer to How do I reset my powerline

adapter? for detailed information.

4. Connect your wired device, such as a computer or game

console, to the powerline adapter via an Ethernet cable.

2. 3. Secure Your Powerline Network by Pairing

All powerline adapters share some common factory settings, and can communicate

with one another. If you want your powerline adpaters to communicate only with your

own powerline adapters, you should pair them. Thus a secured powerline network is

formed and other powerline adapters can no longer join your powerline network without

being paired.

Note: You can only pair two devices at a time.

Secure my powerline network and prevent other powerline

devices from being added to my network.

For example, I’ve extended my network using the Plug & Play

method. Now I want to secure my network.

1. Verify all powerline devices’ Power LEDs are solid on.

Tips: We recommend that you plug in your powerline devices next

to each other, or as close to each other as possible when pairing. Your

settings will not be affected. The devices can be relocated to where they

are needed once pairing is complete.

2. Press the Pair button on one of the powerline devices for 1

second. Its Power LED starts blinking.

3. Within two minutes, press the Pair button on another

powerline adapter for 1 second. Its Power LED starts

blinking. When the Powerline LED stays on, the pairing

process is complete.
