3. Configure the Access Point
Note: It is recommended that you configure the Access Point from a computer
connected to a Powerline Ethernet Bridge (e.g. TPE-202E). Before the Access
Point can be configured, a Static IP address must be assigned on your
computer's network adapter in the subnet of 192.168.1.x. Since the Access
Point's default IP address is 192.168.1.200, make sure no other network
devices are assigned an IP address of 192.168.1.200. (Refer to the
Troubleshooting section on how to configure TCP/IP settings on your PC)
From a Powerline Computer

I specified the IP address http://192.168.1.200 in my Internet Browser's
Address Bar, but an error message says "The page cannot be displayed". How
can I get into the TPL-210AP's web configuration page?
First, check your hardware settings again by following the instructions in
section 2. Second, make sure the Power, Home Plug and Wireless lights are lit.
Third, make sure the TCP/IP settings are configured properly (see Q1). Fourth,
since the Access Point's default IP address is 192.168.1.200, make sure that no
other network devices are assigned an IP address of 192.168.1.200.
If my network's IP is different than the Access Point's range, what should I
do?
You should still configure the Access Point first. After all the settings are
applied, go to the Access Point's configuration page, click on IP setting and
change the IP address of the Access Point to match your network's IP.

A5:
After I successfully configured the Access Point to meet my network settings,
I can not connect to my network using wireless computers.
First, if you are connecting to an existing Powerline network, the Powerline
network name one the Access Point must match that of the Powerline network. To
configure the Powerline network name, log on to the Access Point's browser
configuration by typing in http://192.168.1.200 in the address bar of your browser.
Click HomePlug. Change the HomePlug Group name to match your network's
Powerline network name. The default HomePlug Group name is HomePlug.
Second, verify that the power outlet the TPL-210AP is plugged into is on the same
electrical power distribution and/or circuit breaker. Third, if you have a DHCP
server in your network, you need to go into TCP/IP settings again and re-select
"Obtain an IP address automatically" to allow the PC to regain an IP address from
your DHCP server.
All the settings are correct, but I can not make a wireless connection to the
Access Point.
First, double check that the Wireless light on the Access Point is lit. Second,
power cycle the Access Point. Disconnect the Access Point from the power outlet,
wait 15 seconds, then plug the Access Point back into the power outlet. Third,
contact the manufacturer of your wireless network adapter. Make sure the
wireless network adapter is configured with the proper SSID. The default SSID of
the Access Point is Powerline.
If you still encounter problems or have any questions regarding the TPL-210AP, please
contact TRENDnet's Technical Support Department.
