additional troubleshooting If your HomePlug® AV devices have difficulty communicating with each other, check the following: · T ry power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the wall for 10 seconds and plugging it in again. · U se a pin and hold the Reset Button down for two seconds on each unit you are trying to connect. The PowerNet device lights will flash, the units will reset and attempt to link using default factory settings. · Try plugging the PowerNet device into an adjacent plug.
If your home or office uses more than one circuit breaker box, your PowerNet devices may not be able to communicate because the electrical lines are separated. If this is the case, you can connect two PowerNets together with an Ethernet cable to bridge the separate electrical circuits. Locate two outlets that are relatively close to each other (preferably in the same room) that are on separate circuits.
