This chapter introduces what the powerline adapter can do and describes its

appearance.

It contains the following sections:

• Product Overview

• Product Appearance

Chapter 1 Get to Know Your Powerline Adapter

1. 1. Product Overview

TP-Link powerline adapter aims to extend your existing home network, with the help of

your home’s electrical circuit.

The integrated power socket on the powerline adapter provides an outlet for other

electronic devices. Its built-in noise filter eliminates electrical signal noise and therefore

guarantees the high quality transmission of data via powerline.

1. 2. Product Appearance

Your powerline adapter may differ in appearance slightly from that depicted because

of the region and product version. TL-PA4020P (European version) is used for

demonstration in this guide.

1. 2. 1. LED Legend

LEDs indicate the powerline adapter’s working status. For more details, please refer to

the following table.

game console, via an Ethernet cable.

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.

Wall Outlet Power Strip

• Use the powerline adapter only in below directions.

Environment:

Operating Temperature: 0°C~40°C (32°F ~104°F)

Storage Temperature: -20°C~70°C (-40°F ~158°F)

Operating Humidity: 10%~90% non-condensing

Storage Humidity: 5%~90% non-condensing

Chapter 2 Use Your Powerline Adapter

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 LED is off, refer to What should I do if the Powerline LED is off? 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 adapters 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 near 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 2 minutes, press the Pair button on another powerline adapter for 1 second.

Its Power LED starts blinking. When the Powerline LED turns on, the pairing

process is complete.
