communication becomes disabled, press the Factory Reset button to return
the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings.
Press the Factory Reset button for 1 second, and release it to
return the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings.
• After you plug in your new AV adapter, press the Security
button for 2 seconds, and then press the Security button on
one of the other AV adapters in your existing network for 2
seconds. Both buttons must be pressed within 2 minutes.

into power saving mode. Press the Security button again
for 0.5 seconds to wake it.
The filtered AC socket can remove some electrical noise that
might affect Powerline performance. Plugging the power plugs
of nearby devices into the filtered AC socket might improve
performance.
