ŸA Desktop or Laptop PC with or wireless Network Adapter Installed
ŸExisting 10/100Mbps wired network when TPL-310AP is used to a powerline network to an
existing wired network
ŸWeb Browser: Internet Explorer (6.0 or higher)
®
ŸAdditional HomePlug AV powerline adapter (e.g. TRENDnet TPL-303E, TPL-304E,
TPL-305E, or another TPL-310AP).
Note: You will need at least 2 powerline adapters to establish a powerline network. Please
ensure that you have an additional powerline adapter before following the installation
procedure for this product.

Note:
The configuration utility will allow you to add security to your powerline network by providing
you with the ability to change the default network name and create your own personal
network name for your powerline network. The utility can also help you to troubleshoot
connectivity between powerline adapters by verifying the network name. Please refer to the
User's Guide on the TPL-310AP CD-ROM for instructions on installing and using the utility.

The installation diagram shows a typical setup of the TPL-310AP extending your wireless network
connectivity to another room when bridged with an additional powerline adapter, in this case, the
TRENDnet TPL-303E. Assuming you have the TPL-310AP and one additional TRENDnet
Powerline AV adapter, this guide will provide the procedure to installing and configuring the
TPL-310AP with one additional TRENDnet Powerline AV adapter to extend your wireless network
to another room (not in the same room as the router and modem). The orange line represents the
powerline connectivity established through your home's electrical system and the blue lines
represent Cat. 5, 5e, 6 Ethernet connectivity to your network enabled appliances such as a
computer, router, or IP set top box connected to your television. The green lines represent the
wireless connectivity from your wireless device (e.g. laptop computer, media bridge, etc.) to the
TPL-310AP.

Note:
When installing for the first time, it is required that you configure the Access Point from a wired
computer. Assign a Static IP address to your computer's network adapter in the subnet of
192.168.10.x. Since the Access Point's default IP address is 192.168.10.100, make sure no other
network devices are assigned an IP address of 192.168.10.100. (Refer to Troubleshooting section
on how to configure TCP/IP settings on your PC.)
2. Connect a network cable from the TPL-310AP's
network port into your computer's network port.
4. Assign a Static IP address to your computer's
network adapter in the subnet of 192.168.10.x.
(Refer to Troubleshooting section on how to
configure TCP/IP settings on your PC.)
Outlet
1. Plug the TPL-310AP into an available power
outlet. The TPL-310AP should be within reach
of your computer's network cable.
2. Configure the TPL-310AP
3. Move the Power switch to the “On” position.
5. Open your web browser, type
http://192.168.10.100 in the Address bar, and
then press Enter.
6. Enter the User Name and
password and then click OK. Default Settings:
User name: admin
Password: admin
Note: User name and Password are case
sensitive.

7. The Setup Wizard will automatically appear.
Click Setup Wizard if the Setup Wizard does
not automatically appear.
8. Click Next.
9. For DHCP, click on the drop down arrow and
Select Client for DHCP to have the TPL-310AP
automatically obtain an IP address from your
DHCP server (router). If Disabled is selected
for DHCP, you will need to configure the
following:
IP address: The assigned IP address should
match your network (e.g. 192.168.10.x,
192.168.0.x, 192.168.1.x). This IP address
should not be used by any other network
device on your network.
Subnet Mask: In most cases, the default
Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0) should be fine.
Then click Next.
Note: It is recommended to manually configure
the LAN Interface Settings (IP address and
Subnet Mask) in case you need to access the
TPL-310AP in the future. Please write down
the IP settings assigned for future reference.

10. You will need to configure the following:
Band: In most cases, the default setting
(2.4GHz (B+G+N) should be fine.
Mode: In most cases, the default setting (AP)
should be fine.
Network Type: This setting does not apply to
(AP) mode. Continue to the next setting.
SSID: The SSID is the wireless network name
of your wireless network (e.g. wireless router
or access point). Enter a unique SSID
(Network Name). Do not use anything that
would be identifying like “Smith Family
Network”. Choose something that can be
easily identified when searching for available
wireless networks.
Channel Width: In most cases, the default
Setting (20MHz) should be fine.
Channel Number: This setting only applies if
the Channel Width is set to 40MHz. In most
cases, the default setting should be fine.
Enable Mac Clone (Single Ethernet Client):
In most cases, the default setting should be
fine.
Then click Next.
Note:
1. To protect your network from any unauthorized access it is recommended to enable wireless
encryption.
2. Once encryption is enabled on the Wireless Access Point, each wireless computer or device
must be configured with the same encryption key.
3. The example below is for WPA2 (AES) security. If you select WPA or WPA2, make sure your
wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. If your wireless adapters do not support WPA or
WPA2, then select WEP.
4. For Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) instructions please refer to the User's Guide on the CD-ROM.
WPS instructions will vary depending on your wireless adapter. Please contact the manufacturer
of your wireless

15. After the settings are applied and the device
has rebooted, disconnect the TPL-310AP from
the power outlet.
11. Select WPA2(AES).
12. Select Passphrase or Hex (64 characters)
for Pre-Shared Key Format.
13. Enter characters for your Pre-Shared key and
then click Next. For WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK,
the Pre-Shared Key must be between 8 and
63 ASCII (Passphrase) or 64 (HEX 0-9 & A-F)
characters. Make sure to copy down the
Pre-Shared Key. Use the same encryption key
on your wireless computer or other wireless
device to connect to the TPL-310AP wirelessly.
14. Please wait 25 seconds while the TPL-310AP
reboots.

Note:
1. DO NOT install the TPL-310AP until instructed to do so.
2. DO NOT plug the TPL-310AP into a surge protector or power strip.
3. It is NOT recommended to use this product on electrical systems that use AFCI circuit breakers
or plugged into GFI protected outlets as this may cause performance degradation or loss in
connectivity.
4. Assuming that the TPL-310AP and other TRENDnet Powerline AV devices are configured with
the default settings, to create a powerline network, simply connect the TPL-310AP and other
TRENDnet Powerline AV devices to wall outlets that are on the same electrical system. No
additional configuration in the utility is necessary.
5. Avoid connecting the TPL-310AP into an outlet that has appliances (e.g. refrigerators, washer
and dryer) plugged in.
6. This TPL-310AP 200Mbps Powerline AV Wireless N Access Point needs to pair with at least one
®
other HomePlug AV compatible powerline device. (e.g. TRENDnet Powerline AV products
TPL-303E, TPL-304E, TPL-305E, or another TPL-310AP.
7. In order for the TPL-310AP to link to your other TRENDnet Powerline AV devices, each unit must
be on the same electrical system.
8. A maximum of 16 TPL-310AP and other TRENDnet Powerline AV devices can be networked.
Below is an example showing how to create a Powerline network using TPL-310AP,
TPL-303E and an existing router to share Internet.
3. Create a powerline network
1. Plug a TPL-303E or other TRENDnet Powerline
AV adapter into an available power outlet. This
powerline adapter should be located within the
reach of the router's network cable.
2. Connect a network cable from the powerline
adapter to an available LAN network port on
your router (e.g. TEW-691GR).

4. (OPTIONAL) Connect a network cable from the
TPL-310AP into the network port on your
remote computer or network appliances (e.g.
Game Console, IP Set box, network enabled
TV, etc.).
5. Verify that the WIFI (Wireless) (Blinking/Green),
ETH (Ethernet) (Green), PL (Powerline) and
PWR (Power) (Solid/Green) LEDs are on for
the TPL-310AP.
