Troubleshooting 1. I have verified that my Powerline device is connected to my workstation, but I cannot detect other Powerline devices. What should I do? 1.Verify that you are using Cat. 5, Cat. 5e or Cat. 6 Ethernet network cables for each TPL-402E adapter. 2.Verify that the power outlet of the TPL-402E/TPL-402E2K is plugged into is on the same electrical power distribution and/or circuit breaker box. 3.If you are still not able to establish connectivity after performing the above steps, please reset both of the TPL-402E adapters to factory default. The default network name/key is "HomePlugAV". The Reset button is located on the bottom of the TPL-402E. 1. With a pin or paperclip, press and hold the reset button for 1 second and release it. The LEDs will turn off and turn back on. 2. To verify connectivity, the Powerline LED will become solid when the powerline adapters establish connectivity.

Note: If you have problems resetting the device, unplug the powerline adapter(s) from the power outlet, wait 15 seconds and plug the adapter(s) back into the outlet, then repeat the reset procedure. 2. I can detect my Powerline devices on my Powerline network, but I cannot connect to the Internet. What should I do? Assuming that the Powerline network is connected to a router: 1. Make sure you are not connecting the device into a surge protector or power strip. 2. Make sure that your Router is connected to the Internet and one of the Router's LAN ports is connected to the TPL-402E's network port. Check both TPL-402E and the router's network port LED for positive connection status. 3. Make sure your computer's TCP/IP settings are set to Obtain an IP address automatically (see the steps below). Windows 7 1.

TPL-402E adapter.
2.Verify that the power outlet of the TPL-402E/TPL-402E2K
is plugged into is on the same
electrical power distribution and/or circuit breaker box.
3.If you
are still not able to establish connectivity after performing the above steps, please
reset both of the TPL-402E adapters to factory default.

Assuming that the Powerline network is connected to a router:
Make sure you are not connecting the device into a surge protector or power strip.
2. Make sure that your Router is connected to the Internet and one of the Router's LAN ports
