Initial Use

2. 2. To Extend the Existing Wireless Network

I want to:

Extend the existing wireless network by adding a new powerline extender into the

existing powerline network.

For example, I already set up a wireless network using powerline devices, but the

wireless network is still not big enough to reach the top floor. So I bought a new powerline

extender to extend the wireless network.

How can I do that?

1. Plug the new powerline extender into a wall socket near one of the existing powerline

extender.

Existing Powerline Device

Powerline

2. Check the new extender’s Powerline LED . Is it on?

• If it is on, follow Step 4 > A.

• If it is off, follow Step 3 and Step 4 > B.

3. Join the new powerline extender into the existing powerline network by pairing two

powerline devices.

a . Press the Pair button on the existing powerline device for 1 second. The Power

LED should start blinking.

Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press again.

b . Within two minutes, press the Pair button on the new powerline extender for 1

second. The Power LED should start blinking. When the Powerline LED turns on,

the pairing process is complete.
