Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example
Workgroup does NOT match workgroup.
 Both your PC and the HomePlugAV must have the same setting for
security. The default setting for the HomePlugAV security is disabled,
so your wireless station should also have security disabled.
 If security is enabled on the HomePlugAV, your PC must have
security enabled, and the key must be matched.
 To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is
possible when close to the HomePlugAV. Remember that the
connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.
Problem 2: Wireless connection speed is very slow.
Solution 2: The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed,
depending on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest
possible connection speed, you can experiment with the following:
 HomePlugAV location
Try adjusting the location and orientation of the HomePlugAV.
 Wireless Channel
If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show
a marked improvement.
 Radio Interference
Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by
switching others off, and see if this helps. Any “noisy” devices should
be shielded or relocated.
 RF Shielding
Your environment may tend to block transmission between the
wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible
when close to the HomePlugAV.
Power Line Communication
Problem 1: Cannot pair with other powerline device.
Solution 1: Check the following:
 The pair action must be done in120 seconds between the two powerline
devices.
