Powerline Connections: Powerline LED color indicates the strength and quality of the
Powerline connection through the electrical system. The following factors may affect
the Powerline network's connection quality:
•
Ground Wire - Adapters should use all 3 wire sockets to boost up the Powerline
communication speed to gigabit.
•
Noise – Generated by appliances which use your electrical system (e.g.
Microwaves, ovens, hair dryer, irons, dishwashers, etc.). The quality of your
household electrical wiring may also cause additional noise on your electrical
system.
•
Distance – Long lengths of electrical wiring through your electrical system
between connected Powerline adapters.

Expanding a Powerline Network

What is a network?
A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A
home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet
access, which requires a router.
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a
printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,
additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,
game consoles, and Internet cameras.
• Modem – Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
• Router – Connects multiple devices to the Internet.
• Switch –Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your
router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired
network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an
additional switch to add more wired connections.
How to expand a home network
Wireless Access Points add or extend wireless connectivity to an existing network.
Integrated Powerline technology allows you to further extend your network using your
existing electrical system in your home using multiple powerline adapters.
