∙You have one additional TRENDnet HomePlug® AV powerline adapter (models TPL-303E, TPL- 304E, TPL-305E, TPL-401E) and the powerline settings are set to factory defaults. If you have an existing powerline network (2 or 3 other TRENDnet powerlines adapters already plugged in and connected) and you are adding the TPL-310AP, please refer to section 4.5.

∙The TPL-310AP has already been initially configured in (AP) Access Point mode to allow wireless computers or devices to wirelessly connect covered in Chapter 2.
