Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

Please reference the items below if you continue to experience difficulty with installing and using your TPL-307E 200Mbps Powerline AV Adapter.

Try power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the wall power outlet for 15 seconds and plugging it back in.

If the PL LED is red indicating good quality only, try plugging the TPL-307E into another available wall power outlet to check if you can obtain better connection quality.

Use a pin or paperclip and push and hold the Reset button for 1 second on each TPL- 307E powerline adapter. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on. This will reset the TPL- 307E powerline adapters to the default settings, network name/security key assignment “HomePlugAV”.

The TPL-307E can provide better connectivity and performance when plugged directly into the wall power outlet instead of a power strip or surge protector.

Connecting the TPL-307E to a power strip or surge protector may degrade network performance or completely stop network signals.

The TPL-307E is not recommended for use on GFI protected outlets and electrical systems with AFCI circuit breakers as these items may filter out powerline signals.

The TPL-307E should not be used in areas with excessive heat.

Certain florescent or incandescent lights are noise sources on the electrical and can degrade powerline performance.

If your building has more than one circuit breaker box, the TPL-307E may not be able to establish connectivity between different circuit breaker boxes. In this case, connect a TPL-307E powerline adapter to a power outlet located on each of the circuit breaker boxes, and then connect an Ethernet cable between the TPL-307E powerline adapters to bridge the two circuits together. This will allow the TPL-307E powerline adapters from different circuit breaker boxes connect to each other.
