2. 1. To Set Up a New Secure Wireless Network

Initial Use

I want to:

How can I

do that?

Use the Powerline Wi-Fi Kit to set up a new secure wireless network in my house.

For example, I have a wireless router in my house, but the wireless

signal cannot reach every corner. So I bought 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 powerline adapter to an available LAN port of the router.

2. Plug the powerline adapter into a wall socket.

3. Plug the powerline extender into a wall socket near the

adapter.

4. Pair the powerline devices.

a . Press the Pair button of the powerline adapter for 1

second. The Power LED starts blinking.

Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the button again.

b . Within two minutes, press the Pair button of the powerline

extender for 1 second. The Power LED starts blinking. When the Powerline LED turns solid on, the pairing process is done!

2. 2. To Extend the Existing Wireless Network

I want to:

Extend the existing wireless network by adding a new powerline extender into the existing powerline network.

For example, I already set up a wireless network using powerline

devices, but the wireless network is still not big enough to reach
