Installing your Powerline Adapters

TRENDnet User’s Guide

Before you Install

1.Before you proceed with the installation, verify the following:

•You already have a router already installed.

•You already have Internet access through your existing network.

•An Ethernet port (also called LAN port) is available on your router.

•Verify that you have at least two Powerline adapters. You will need at least two Powerline adapters to create a Powerline network.

Note: The TPL-405E package only includes a single Powerline adapter. Please ensure that your other Powerline adapter is HomePlug® AV or IEEE 1901 compliant (e.g. TRENDnet models TPL-303E, TPL-304E, TPL-305E, TPL-306E, TPL- 307E, TPL-310AP, TPL-401E, TPL-402E, or another TPL-405E.)

2.Plan the location of where you will install your Powerline adapters.

•Avoid plugging the adapters into power strips, extension cords, or surge protectors as this may prevent the adapter from functioning correctly or degrade performance.

•Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are controlled by a light switch to prevent the Powerline adapter from being turned off accidentally.

•Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are located near appliances that consume a lot of power (e.g. refrigerators, washers, dryers) as this may degrade performance.

•Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room where the router is installed and also near the router.

•Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room where you want to extend network connectivity.

Connect a Powerline adapter to your router

1. Plug the Powerline adapter into an available wall power outlet near your router.

Note: This will allow devices connected to your Powerline network to access the Internet and other devices connected to your network.

2.Connect the included Ethernet cable (also called network cable) from the Ethernet port (also called network port) of your Powerline adapter to an available Ethernet port (also called LAN port) on your router.

3.Once the Powerline adapter is installed and connected to your router, verify that the Power (PWR) LED is on or blinking and the Ethernet Connection (ETH) LED is on or blinking.
