6.If this solution does not work, make sure that the electrical outlet is working properly. Plug a different device into the outlet, and try to turn it on.

You cannot connect to other computers on your local network or to the Internet.

If you did not set up advanced security for the Powerline network, follow these instructions:

1.Locate the Powerline adapter connected to the computer that cannot connect.

2.On the left side of the adapter, use a pointed object to press and hold the Reset button for at least ten seconds. This resets the adapter to its factory default settings.

If you have set up advanced security for the Powerline network, check the following:

•• Make sure all adapters on the Powerline network have been configured with the same network password. The network password must be identical in order for them to communicate with each other. See “Setting up advanced security” on page 6 or “Using the Utility” on page 6.

•• If you are adding a new adapter to a pre-existing Powerline network with a unique network password, follow the instructions in “Using the Utility” on page 6.
