Chapter 2 Hardware Connection

2.1 Before You Begin

Please read this User Guide carefully before installing and using the equipment. The operating distance
or range of your wireless connection varies significantly based on the physical placement of the
powerline extender. Factors that can weaken signals by getting in the way of your network's radio waves
are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls. Typical ranges vary based on the types of materials and
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.
This equipment can only be used in the below direction.
For best performance of your wireless network, you are suggested to place your powerline extender:
1). Near the center of the area in which your wireless stations will operate.
2). In an elevated location such as a high shelf.
3). Away from the potential sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and cordless phones.
4). Away from large metal surfaces.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to
wirelessly connect to the powerline extender.

Note:
Take notes that this 300Mbps AV500 WiFi Powerline Extender works in pairs or with another powerline
adapter. You need to plug the powerline extender into a power outlet; you will also need another
powerline extender or powerline Ethernet adapter connected to your Cable/xDSL broadband (Ethernet
port) in order to extend your broadband connection or Internet surfing. With clean powerline, the
distance between two powerline Ethernet adapters can reach 300 meters, but the actual distance may
vary due to the environment.
