TROUBLESHOOTING

1. How do I connect my PLW400?
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, make sure that the power switch on the right side is set to I
(ON). If your home network already has security set up (recommended):
Step 1:
Connect the PLW400 to a power outlet near your main wireless router.
Step 2:
On the PLW400, press and hold the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ button at least one (1)
second, until the WPS LED flashes.
Step 3:
On your wireless router, press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ button for two (2)
minutes. The PLW400 retrieves the security settings from the router and connects to your
wireless network.
Step 4:
Move your PLW400 to a power outlet near the wireless network device(s) you want to
connect. Typically, this area is not covered well by your home's wireless network
router. The Powerline LED flashes, and then stays solid when the connection to the rest
of the Powerline network is finished. Your home's wireless network is now available in
the area surrounding the PLW400.
Step 5:
Connect the wireless network device to the wireless network in the usual manner. For
instructions, see your wireless network device's user documentation. The PLW400's
Wireless LED flashes, and then stays solid when a wireless network device successfully
connects.
2. What should I do if none of the LEDs turned on after I installed the Powerline adapter?
Step 1:
Disconnect the adapter from the power outlet.
Step 2:
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the adapter.
Step 3:
Wait five (5) seconds.
Step 4:
Re-connect the Ethernet cable to the adapter.
