About Your WNXR2000
The WNR2000 router works with the XAVP1000 Y-cable
adapter to help you create a Powerline and wireless network.
To set up your network, do the following:
• Set Up the XAVP1000 Adapter
• Connect the WNXR2000 Powerline AV Router
Set Up the XAVP1000 Adapter
Follow these steps to connect the XAVP1000 adapter to the
router:
1. Plug the network connector on the Y-cable adapter into one
of the orange Ethernet ports on the router.
2. Plug the Power connector on the Y-cable adapter into the
power inlet on the router.
3. Plug the XAVP1000 adapter into an electrical outlet.
Make sure that:
• You do NOT plug the adapter into a Power Strip.
• The electrical outlet is not controlled by a wall switch to
avoid someone unknowingly turning off the power to
the outlet.
