•Battery chargers (including cell phone chargers)

•Hair dryers

•Power drills and other power tools

•Halogen lights

•Vacuum cleaners

•Connect powerline devices to a power strip without noise filters

If you must connect your powerline devices to a power strip, use the following guidelines:

•Make sure that the power strip does not have a noise filter or a surge protector, because the powerline network signals may become corrupted.

•Use a power strip with an AC cord that is as short as possible.

•Do not connect the adapter to a power strip that receives power from another power strip (daisy-chained).

•Keep distances short

If two powerline devices are separated by a great distance of electrical wiring, they may not communicate well with each other.

• Reduce electrical interference

Electrical interference (“noise”) from other electrical appliances can interfere with the performance, speed, and reliability of your powerline devices. For best results, unplug or isolate the following devices with a noise-filtering power strip:

•Air conditioners

•Fluorescent lights (especially industrial-grade lights)

•Blowers

•Large electrical motors

Note: Powerline devices can interfere with appliances, such as lamps, that have a touch-sensitive power switch.

Creating additional networks

Your Rocketfish powerline devices are all pre-configured to see each other as part of the same network. Each has the default network name of HomePlugAV, and any other Rocketfish powerline devices with the same network name recognize these as part of the same network. For a standard home network, you’ll keep these settings as they are.
