  • Page 9: Setting Up Your Powerline Network

    Setting up your powerline network Choosing a location Before connecting your powerline devices, you need to determine where they need to be installed. Notes: • Make sure that the two powerline devices are in the same home power circuit. • These devices should be installed only in a residential setting. Do not install in a business environment.
  • Page 10 Powerline Ethernet switch Install the powerline Ethernet switch on the same home power circuit as your powerline Ethernet bridge, and near your gaming console or other device. Connecting your powerline devices To connect your powerline bridge: Plug your powerline bridge directly into a wall power socket. If other appliances are plugged into the same outlet, isolate them from the powerline bridge by using a noise-filtering power strip.
  • Page 11 Connecting tips Powerline networking sends data along the electrical wiring of your home, so the data can be corrupted by electrical interference (sometimes called “noise”) and the length of wiring it must pass through. Although your powerline devices can overcome most interference, it’s best to avoid creating interference so ensure the highest reliability.
  • Page 12 Creating additional networks Your Rocketfish powerline devices are all pre-configured to see each other as part of the same network. Each has the default network name of HomePlugAV, and any other Rocketfish powerline devices with the same network name recognize these as part of the same network.
  • Page 13 If, however, you want to set up multiple powerline networks in your home or change your powerline network’s name (for added security), you can configure the powerline devices to do so. To create an additional network and join devices to it: Make sure that your powerline devices are plugged into a powered wall outlet and are not in standby mode.

  • Page 14: Standby Mode

    After your first and additional devices’ power indicators stop blinking, your additional device has successfully joined your first device’s network. Resetting a powerline device to factory defaults You can easily restore factory default settings for any of your powerline devices. To reset a powerline device to its factory default settings: Make sure that your powerline devices are plugged into a powered wall outlet and are not in standby mode.

  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    Powerline devices using different powerline communication protocols may have difficulty communicating with each other, although they all can co-exist on same electrical wiring. Your Rocketfish powerline devices are HomePlug AV compliant. They can communicate with any other HomePlug AV-compliant powerline device, regardless of brand.

  • Page 16: Troubleshooting Tips

    • The computer can access the Internet if you connect it directly to the router. If there is no Internet connection, troubleshoot the router or contact your ISP (Internet service provider). Troubleshooting tips • Powerline products work better when plugged directly into the wall power outlet, not power strips, extension cords, surge protectors, or uninterruptable power supplies.
