Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port connects to an Ethernet network cable. The other end of the cable will
connect to your computer or other Ethernet-enabled network device.
The Back Panel
The power plug and Device Password are located on the back panel of the Adapter.
Power Plug
The power plug connects to an electrical outlet in your location.
IMPORTANT: Because the Adapter sends data over the powerlines of your residence, Linksys
recommends that you plug the Adapter directly into an electrical outlet. The Adapter has its own
power filter for protection against surges.

powerline network with your own Network Password (not the default), then you may need to
enter the Device Password on the Security tab of the Configuration Utility. For more
information, refer to "Chapter 5: Using the Configuration Utility."
