TRENDnet 4-Port Powerline 500 AV Adapter, TPL-4052E Installing Your Powerline Adapter

Installing Your Powerline Adapter

1. Before you proceed with the installaon, verify the following:

• Verify that you already have Internet access through your

exisng network.

• Verify that you have an available Ethernet port (also known as a

LAN port) on you router.

• Verify that you have at least two Powerline Adapters. Two or

more Powerline Adapters are required to create a powerline

network�

Note: The TPL-4052E 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-401E, TPL-402E, TPL-405E , TPL-406E , TPL-407E or another

TPL-4052E.)

2. Plan the locaon 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

funconing 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 o 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 connecvity.

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 a 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

Network LED is on or blinking.
