Installing Your Powerline Adapter
Before you install
1. Before you proceed with the installation, verify the following:
• Verify that you already have Internet access through your
existing network.
• Verify that you have an available Ethernet port (also known as a
LAN port) on you router.
• Verify that you have at least two Powerline Adapters. Two or
more Powerline Adapters are required to create a powerline
network�
Note: The TPL-4052E package only includes a single Powerline
Adapter. Please ensure that your other Powerline Adapter is
HomePlug® AV or IEEE 1901 compliant (e.g. TRENDnet models
TPL-401E, TPL-402E, TPL-405E , TPL-406E , TPL-407E or another
TPL-4052E.)
2. Plan the location of where you will install your Powerline Adapters.
• Avoid plugging the adapters into power strips, extension cords,
or surge protectors as this may prevent the adapter from
functioning correctly or degrade performance.
• Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are
controlled by a light switch to prevent the Powerline Adapter
from being turned off accidentally.
• Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that
are located near appliances that consume a lot of power
(e.g. refrigerators, washers, dryers) as this may degrade
performance�
• Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room
where the router is installed and also near the router.
• Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room
where you want to extend network connectivity.
