NOTE:

It's strongly recommended that you plug the adapter directly into the

wall socket, for some power strips have surge protector which can lter data.

To add another adapter

Plug an additional adapter into the wall socket, and the connection will be
established automatically within 60 seconds.

To surf the Internet, please make sure that your network is properly
connected to the Internet.
If the adapters fail to automatically link to each other, you can
establish a private network by using the pair button. To set up a
private network, please go to Appendix: Using the Pair Button for
