TRENDnet User's Guide TPL-421E/TPL-421E2K Physical Installation With the synchronized Powerline adapters or the out-of-box adapters, now you can set up your Powerline adapters to the location you want your network extends to. There are several location choosing considerations 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 functioning 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 off 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 connectivity. • For AV2 1200 Powerline adapters, make sure your electric network has 3 wires properly installed. 1. Plug the Powerline adapter into an available wall power outlet near your router. 2. Connect the included network cable from the Ethernet port of your Powerline adapter to an available Ethernet port on your network router. 3. Once the Powerline adapter is installed and connected to your router, verify that the Power LED is on or blinking and the Ethernet LED is on or blinking. 4. Plug in the second Powerline adapter to an available wall power outlet in another room near a computer or network device (e.g. game consoles, network-enabled TVs, network attached storage, network media server/players, etc.) you want to connect to your network. © Copyright 2015 TRENDnet.
