Ch 2. Hardware Installation Once you check everything from the package, you can start to deploy the PLC devices. To connect this AP wirelessly need to search and connect the SSID (Wi-Fi name) of this device: BVH-5101_XXXXXX (factory default is no wireless security setting) Please see the following application diagrams for different application connections of this device. -
Page 11: Application 2 - Wireless Ap + Ethernet Switch
Application 2 – Wireless AP The Powerline Wireless N Extender can be a central 802.11n access point to for all WLAN devices to connect. Application 3 – Multiple Floor Home Networking (1) When Wi-Fi signal is not good for devices in different rooms to access, use Powerline technology powered by the Powerline Wireless N Extender to extend home networking range to other rooms. -
Page 12: Application 3- Multiple Floor Home Networking
Application 3 – Multiple Floor Home Networking (2) By turning off the Wi-Fi function (need to operate in the web page settings), HomePlug AV Wireless N Extender acts as Powerline Ethernet Bridge, which, when used together with other remote Powerline Ethernet Bridge, enables other remote Ethernet devices (ex. IP devices or PC) on the different floor to communicate via the embedded Powerline technology. - Page 13 Create Private Encrypted PLC Network Group (group pairing procedure) The Powerline bridges are compliant HomePlug AV specification. Every ‘HomePlug AV’ compliant PLC device has the same default network name, “HomePlug AV”, which is capable of communicating with other “HomePlug AV” compliant devices. This is so called the “public network”. Two or more powerline devices under the same network can communicate with one another.
- Page 14 Remove Device From a Network Group If you would like to remove device from a network group, you can generate a new group name for the device that you would like to remove by following the Step I. This makes the device not able to communicate with the original network group.

Step 5：Click “Finish” button and the device will reboot to apply the settings. Operation Mode Configuration This device supports five operation modes for the IP network. Click to select one between the following wireless operation modes, then click Apply button. AP Mode This device act as Wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients and provides a connection to Ethernet and PLC. - Page 18 WDS (Root AP) The wireless radio of device serves for the other AP and provides a connection to a wired LAN (the other AP must use the same chipset with this device) WDS + AP Mode This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, and it not only allows WDS connections but also the wireless clients can survey and associate to the device...
- Page 19 WDS Mode The WDS system is used to create a network of AP’s that can be used as a single “virtual” AP. The device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect to the device.
