Section 2 - Hardware Installation

Hardware Installation

Installation

1. Plug in one of the DHP-600AV adapters and connect to your router with an Ethernet cable. The Power and Ethernet LEDs should both light up.

Recommendations

• For best results, use in a regular wall outlet without any other devices plugged in. Connecting this product to a power strip or a surge protector

may adversely aect the performance of this device.

• Avoid using the PowerLine adapters in an electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that uses a lot of power such as a washer, dryer,

refrigerator, microwave, hair dryer, or air conditioning unit.

• If you are having connection problems, plug in both adapters within the same room to determine whether your home’s electrical wiring is

contributing to the issue. The adapters’ PowerLine LED indicators will illuminate if the connection is established. Once congured, you may

move an adapter to another location.
