Note: The following factors may affect the Powerline network’s connection quality:
•Noise – Generated by appliances which use your electrical system (e.g. Microwaves, ovens, blow dryer, iron, dishwasher, etc.). The quality of your household electrical wiring may also cause additional noise on your electrical system.
•Distance – Long lengths of electrical wiring through your electrical system between connected Powerline adapters.
