PART I

Intro duc tion

1.1 O ve rvie w

This chapter introduces the main applications and features of your Zyxel Powerline Wireless 11ac Dual Band Extender with 1000Mbps PHY rate, which is called “PLA” in this guide. The following generic icon is used to represent the PLA.

This User’s Guide helps you understand more about how your PLA works and how to configure your network. The PLA plugs into an ordinary power outlet to easily extend a cable or DSL broadband connection or existing Ethernet (LAN) network to any other electrical outlet in any room of a house. The PLA provides a hybrid powerline transmission and Wi-Fi solution, enabling a larger transmission capacity, all without the need for any new cabling, since power sockets are available everywhere in your home.

C HAPTER 1

Intro duc ing the PLA

With the PLA you can easily set up a wireless network with both IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac compatible devices. Multiple HD videos can be streamed over an interference-free 5GHz radio band across the network with no frame loss.

In this User’s Guide the electrical wiring network is referred to as the “powerline network”. You can directly plug an electrical device (such as a router or computer) into PLA with an AC power passthrough socket to supply power to the device.

1.2 LEDs

The following sections describes the lights on the PLA.

The following figure is the front panel of the PLA. Use the lights to determine if the PLA is behaving normally or if there are some problems on your powerline network.

PLA5236 User’s Guide

1.4 Expa nd Yo ur Ne two rk with the PLA

The PLA plugs into an ordinary power outlet to easily extend a cable or DSL broadband connection or existing Ethernet (LAN) network to any other electrical outlet in any room of a house, all without the need for any new cabling. Devices can securely communicate with each other at high data transfer rates. The PLA uses 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to ensure safe transfer of information.

Figure 2 Expand Your Network with the PLA

Connect your PLA to an Internet gateway such as a modem and plug it into an ordinary power outlet in your home. Plug a second PLA into another power outlet and connect a computer to the PLA for Internet access. Your network can be further expanded by plugging additional PLAs into other outlets in your home and connecting other computers or network devices (for example, a printer) to them.

Refer to your Quick Start Guide for hardware connection information.

PLA5236 User’s Guide

1.5 Se c urity

Since your powerline network may extend outside your premises, it is important to set up security on your PLA.

1.5.1 Pa sswo rds

You use two types of passwords in the Home Plug AV powerline network. The following table describes the differences between the passwords.

Table 2 Password Summary

PA SSWO RD DESCRIPTION

Network Name All powerline adapters that follow the HomePlug AV standard are shipped with the

DAK (Data Access Key) Password

Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA

same powerline network name “HomePlugAV”.

In order to manage the powerline adapters on your powerline network you must enter the adapters’ DAK password in the Home Plug Screen (

). This password is printed on the powerline adapter itself.

You don’t need to add the password for the powerline adapter directly connected to the computer running the web configurator (local powerline adapter), you only have to add the remote powerline adapters’ passwords (those on your circuit, but not directly connected to your computer).

Section 9.3 on page

1.5.2 Se tting Up Se c urity

The ENCRYPT feature automatically sets up security on your powerline network. Use this feature if your powerline devices have the RESET/ ENC RYPT button.

Alternatively, use the Zyxel Hom e Plug screen ( PLA.Although the PLA is a “plug-and-play” network expanding solution there are several reasons for enabling security on the powerline network in your home.

1 It’s easy and only requires you to change a network name.

2 It’s a good idea to ensure privacy of your communication. When you use the PLA and other powerline

adapters, the electrical wiring in your home becomes an extension of your Ethernet network. Your network traffic flows freely within the electrical circuit of your home and is bounded in most cases by a power meter.

Without security (encryption) your information is accessible to anyone using a powerline adapter on the same electrical circuit. In some cases, a circuit can be shared by more than one household.

To prevent compromising your network security, you can create a private network. A private network uses a secret password (Ne two rk Name ) to make sure that only permitted powerline adapters can communicate in your network.

3 You may need to change the Ne two rk Na me to create multiple powerline networks. See the next

section for more information on how to set up a multiple network.

Section 9.3 on page 52) to set up security on the

PLA5236 User’s Guide

1.6 Multip le Ne tworks

Multiple powerline networks can coexist on a single powerline circuit. You might want to implement multiple powerline networks in a small office environment where you have two separate Ethernet networks.

1 Connect one powerline adapter to a router or switch on the first Ethernet network and assign a Ne twork

Na m e (for example “Password1”) to this powerline adapter. Add additional powerline adapters to your

network by plugging them into your powerline outlets and assigning them “Password1”. This completes the configuration of your first powerline network.

2 Connect another powerline adapter to a router or switch on the second Ethernet network and assign a

different Ne twork Name (for example “Password2”) to this powerline adapter. Again, add additional powerline adapters and assign them “Password2”.

You now have two private networks on your powerline circuit. Information is not shared between the two networks as only powerline adapters with the same Ne twork Na me can communicate with each other.

Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA

PLA5236 User’s Guide

The RESET/ ENC RYPT Butto n

Use the RESET/ ENC RYPT button to automatically set up a secure powerline connection between your powerline devices.

2.1 RESET/ ENCRYPT Butto n Ove rvie w

The RESET/ ENC RYPT button allows you to set up a secure powerline connection with other HomePlug AV compliant powerline devices which also support the ENCRYPT feature. No other powerline setting changes are required to connect.

C HAPTER 2

You can use the RESET/ ENC RYPT button to:

• set up a new powerline network.

• separate an existing powerline network into multiple networks.

• reset the PLA to the factory defaults.

2.2 Adding De vic e s to a Po we rline Ne twork

You can connect a number of PLAs on a powerline network, but you can use the RESET/ ENC RYPT button on only two PLAs at a time.

Place a powerline device close to another powerline device so you have time to set up each one. After you set up the first powerline device, you have 120 seconds to set up the second powerline device.

Note: Your PLA must be connected to a networking equipment for the RESET/ ENC RYPT button

to work. Refer to

Follow the steps below to set up your HomePlug AV Network:

7.1 O ve rvie w

This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your PLA. See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.

The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.

Figure 17 Example of a Wireless Network

C HAPTER 7

Wire le ss LAN

The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your PLA is the AP.

7.1.1 Po we rline Extend e d Wire le ss LA N

The PLA is a wireless Powerline Extender (PE) that allows you to extend your original wireless network, connected to a compatible Powerline Adapter (PA) over a power cable. This is the key for items in

Figure 18 on page 33:

• PE = Powerline Extender (= PLA here)

• PEN = PE wireless Network

PLA5236 User’s Guide

Chapter 7 Wireless LAN

• PA = Powerline Adapter

• APN = Your existing wireless router or AP wireless Network

• PL = Powerline connection

Using a PE is desirable when you want to expand your existing wireless network, there is a power connection to it, and the PE is located beyond the Wi-Fi range of the AP, or there are obstructions, such as thick walls, impeding Wi-Fi signals between them.

These are some ways to configure the PLA for Wi-Fi access in the PE location.

• Use the default PLA wireless settings (SSID = ZyXEL, no Wi-Fi key). No configuration is necessary, but the PLA wireless network is open (no Wi-Fi key) and vulnerable.

• Copy the AP settings to the PLA using the WPS button. When using WPS to copy wireless settings, the PLA4213 must be within 5 meters of the AP. After a successful copy, position them where you want them in your Powerline network. This allows seamless wireless roaming between APN and PEN networks but some wireless clients may have problems if they discover duplicate SSIDs. You also won’t know if your wireless device is connecting to the APN or the PEN.

• Use the web configurator to configure a different SSID and Wi-Fi key on the PLA (SSID-2, Wi-Fi Key-2). Roaming is not seamless as you need to manually connect to the PEN when the signal from the APN becomes weak (and vice-versa).

Figure 18 Powerline Extended Wireless LAN

7.2 Wha t You C a n Do

• Use the G e ne ra l screen ( SSID, select the channel, and configure wireless security between the PLA and the wireless clients.

• Use the MA C Filte r screen (Section 7.6 on page 41) to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from connecting to the PLA.

• Use the Ad va nce d screen (Section 7.7 on page 42) to configure wireless advanced features, such as set the RTS/CTS Threshold and HT physical mode.

• Use the Q o S screen (Section 7.8 on page 43) to enable Wi-fi MultiMedia Quality of Service (WMMQoS). This allows the PLA to automatically set priority levels to services, such as e-mail, VoIP, chat, and so on.

• Use the WPS screen ( without having to configure security settings manually.

• Use the WPS Station screen (

Section 7.4 on page 35) to turn the wireless connection on or off, enter the

Section 7.9 on page 44) to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security,

Chapter 7 Wireless LAN

• Use the Sche duling screen (Section 7.11 on page 46) to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off.

7.3 Wha t You Should Kno w

Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.

• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.

• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels. Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency,

to send and receive information.

• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP. Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the

information that is sent in the wireless network.

7.3.1 Wire less Se c urity O ve rvie w

The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network.

7.3.1.1 SSID

Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.

This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network.

7.3.1.2 MA C Addre ss Filte r

Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s Guide or other documentation.

You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not allowed to use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings.

This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.

1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses.

2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F.

PLA5236 User’s Guide

Chapter 7 Wireless LAN

Enc ryp tio n

Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message.

Table 12 Types of Encryption

We ake st No Security

Static WEP

WPA-PSK

Strong e st WPA2-PSK

Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless network supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA. Therefore, you should set up

Sta tic WEP in the wireless network.

Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA- PSK or stronger encryption. WEP

encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.

When you select WPA2- PSK in your PLA, you can also select an option (WPA- PSK Comp a tible ) to support WPA as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up

WPA2-PSK and select the WPA- PSK C o m patible option in the PLA.

Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key.

7.3.1.3 WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the device itself) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves.

7.4 G e ne ra l Wire le ss LAN Sc re e n

Use this screen to enable or disable the WLAN, enter the SSID, select the channel and configure wireless security settings.

Note: If you are configuring the PLA from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you

change the PLA’s SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press App ly to confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the PLA’s new settings.

This displays the channel the PLA is currently using.

A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40 MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps.

Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select A uto 20/ 40 MHz to allow the PLA to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.

40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase

throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 M Hz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.

Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.

3 Make sure that the powerline adapters on your network are all on the same electrical wiring. Connect

another powerline adapter into an outlet close to your PLA’s power outlet. They are probably now on the same electrical wiring. Check the HomePlug ( ) light. If it now lights up your powerline adapter was probably previously on separate electrical wiring. Ask an electrician for more information on the electrical wiring in your building.

4 Make sure that you do not have a power meter between powerline adapters. Powerline signals cannot

pass this.

The POWER and HomePlug light blink at the same time.

•You have pressed the RESET/ ENC RYPT button for more than three seconds. Try setting up a connection again, this time pressing the RESET/ ENCRYPT buttons on both devices for less than three seconds.

12.2 Powe rline Pro ble m s

The signal on my powerline network is weak.

1 Your powerline adapters may be connected to electrical surge protectors. Connect them to standard

power outlets.

2 Your powerline adapters may be located close to large appliances such as refrigerators or air-

conditioners that cause interference with the powerline signal. Move the adapters further away from such appliances to reduce interference.

3 Your powerline adapters may be placed close to electrical devices such as electrical insect-killers which

produce radio waves. These may interfere with the powerline signals. Move the adapters further away from such electrical devices.

4 Your wiring may be old and/or low quality or with a long wiring path.

12.3 RESET/ ENCRYPT Button Proble ms

This section applies only to PLAs with the RESET/ ENC RYPT button.

The HomePlug light is already on, but I haven’t pressed the RESET/ ENCRYPT button yet.

Your device has already connected to another powerline device. Press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button for 5 to 8 seconds to release the connection.

Chapter 12 Troubleshooting

The POWER light does not blink when I press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button.

• Check the device is on.

• Press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button again, making certain you have pressed the button for 0.5 to 3 seconds.

• The POWER light on some powerline devices do not blink as part of the ENCRYPT process. Check your powerline device is a PLA.

The POWER light blinks two times quickly then pauses, before repeating.

The ENCRYPT process has failed. Press the RESET/ ENCRYPT button on both devices for 5 to 8 seconds, then try to reconnect.

The POWER lights on both devices blink when I press the RESET/ ENC RYPT buttons, but the HomePlug light does not turn on.

• Ensure you have pressed the RESET/ ENC RYPT button on both devices.

• Wait for about a minute while the devices set up a connection.

• If that does not work, try again with both devices connected to a power strip next to each other. If they now connect, then the devices were not on the same electrical circuit before.

The POWER lights on both devices blink, then many lights blink and the HomePlug light blinks red.

Do not worry, the connection process is proceeding normally.

The POWER lights on both devices finished blinking, but only one device’s HomePlug light is on.

One device may have connected to a third powerline device. To check device A is connected to device B and not another device, disconnect device B from its power source. Device A’s HomePlug ( ) light will turn off if the connection is with Device B. Press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button on both devices for 5 to 8 seconds, then try to reconnect, pressing the RESET/ ENC RYPT button for 0.5 to 3 seconds on both devices.

I pressed the RESET/ENCRYPT button for 5 to 8 seconds, but the HomePlug light is still on.
