2.1 Requirements
Powerline devices 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:
Ǵ All powerline devices should be on the same electrical wiring system.
Ǵ Avoid plugging in powerline devices and high-powered household devices (such
as washing machines and refrigerators) close to one another.
Ǵ Plug the powerline device directly into a wall outlet. Do not plug the powerline
device into a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector.
Wall Outlet Power Strip
Ǵ Use the powerline device only in below directions.

2.2 Extend Wired Network by Plug & Play
If your router's wireless signal cannot reach every corner in the house, you can solve
the problem with a Powerline Wi-Fi Kit to extend the wireless network. The Powerline
Wi-Fi Kit includes a powerline adapter and a powerline extender.
1. Connect the adapter to a LAN port of your router using an Ethernet cable.
2. Plug the extender into the wall outlets on the same electrical circuit.
3. Wait until the Power LED on any powerline device turns solid green.
4. Connect to the Wi-Fi using the SSID and password on the product label.

2.3 Secure Powerline Network by Pairing
All powerline devices share some common factory settings, and can communicate
with one another. If you want your powerline devices to communicate only with your
own powerline devices, you should pair them. Thus a secured powerline network
is formed and other powerline devices can no longer join your powerline network
without being paired.
Note: You can only pair two devices at a time.
If you have extended the network using the Plug & Play method, but you want to
secure the powerline network and prevent other powerline devices from being
added to it, please follow the steps below.
1. Verify all powerline devices’ 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 aected. The devices can be relocated to where they are
needed once pairing is complete.
2. Press the Pair button for 1 second on the adapter. Its LED starts blinking green
quickly.
3. Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button for 1 second on the extender. Its LED
starts blinking green quickly as well. When the LED turns solid green, the pairing
process is complete.

2.4 Add Another Powerline Adapter
If you have already set up a wireless network using powerline devices, but the
wireless network is still not big enough to reach the top oor, you can add a new
powerline extender to extend the wireless network.
1. Plug the new powerline extender into a wall outlet near one of the existing
powerline devices.
2. Wait for a minute, and check whether the LED turns on. If it’s on, skip to step 3. If
it’s not, continue with step 2 to pair the new powerline extender into the secured
powerline network.
a . Press the Pair button on one of the existing powerline devices for 1 second.
Its LED starts blinking green quickly.
b . Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button on the new powerline extender for 1
second. Its LED starts blinking green quickly as well. When the LED turns
solid green, the pairing process is complete.
