Troubleshooting & FAQ

What’s the speed of a Powerline network over standard mains wiring? HomePlug Powerline networks can operate at speeds of up to 85Mbps

How many HomePlug devices can I use on my network?

You can install up to 16 devices on your HomePlug Powerline network

What’s the maximum range of a Powerline network?

Approximately 300m through mains wiring

Can my neighbours receive my Powerline signals?

It is possible for your neighbours to receive your Powerline signals between two adjacent homes. To prevent them accessing your network, please enable the 56-bit DES encryption on your HomePlug device. To do this, you must run the Configuration Utility and set a new network name to be used by each HomePlug device.

Are there any issues with power strips, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and circuit breakers?

Extensive testing has shown minimal problems affecting data transfer when these devices are in use, but for the most reliable performance we recommend that each HomePlug unit is plugged directly into a mains wall outlet.

Do I have to install the Powerline Configuration Utility on every computer on my network?

No, the Powerline Configuration Utility does not need to be installed on any computer on your network. However, to set up the security encryption and diagnose and configure the devices we recommend you install it on at least one PC on your network.

Is HomePlug compatible with Macs?

Yes – the Ethernet Bridge can be used with any Mac with a 10/100 RJ-45 Ethernet connection, without any special software installation! The only limitation is that setting or changing a HomePlug device password requires connection to a PC running the Powerline configuration software. If both Mac’s and PC’s are present on the network, then the passwords of all the HomePlug devices can be changed remotely, from the PC!

Can I use HomePlug with my current Wireless or Ethernet network?

HomePlug was designed from the outset to provide maximum compatibility with existing wireless and Ethernet networks. The PowerPacket technology adheres to standard Ethernet protocols - using destination and source MAC addressing.
