3. Enjoy: Connect your devices to the internet using the default SSID (network name) and password on the label at the top of the extender.

Attention

1. Use the product only in the upright direction.
2. Plug powerline devices into wall outlets instead of power strips.
   Note: Using power strip will affect network performance or even cause connection drops.

Unify Your Wi-Fi Networks via WPS

Copy SSID and password from your router via WPS to create one unified Wi-Fi network throughout your home.
Note: If your router doesn’t have a WPS button, manually change the extender’s Wi-Fi settings via the tpPLC app, tpPLC Utility, or web interface .

1. Plug in the extender in the same room as your router. Wait until the extender’s Wi-Fi LED turns on.

2. Press your router’s WPS button. Within 2 minutes, press the extender’s Wi-Fi button for 1 second. The extender’s Wi-Fi LED starts blinking. When it stays on, Wi-Fi settings are copied.
   Note: If Wi-Fi settings are not copied within 2 minutes, manually change the extender’s Wi-Fi settings.

3. Relocate the extender and enjoy the internet using your router’s SSID and password.

Create a Secure Powerline Network by Pairing
Note: You can only pair two devices at a time. We recommend that you plug in the powerline devices near each other when pairing.

1. Press the Pair button on the adapter for 1 second. Its Power LED should start blinking.
   Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again.

2. (Within 2 minutes) press the extender’s Pair button for 1 second. Its Power LED POWER should start blinking.

3. When the extender’s Powerline LED turns on, a powerline network has been successfully created.

Sync Wi-Fi Settings to More Extenders

If you have more extenders, simply plug in and pair each one with the existing adapter to join the network. Then the Wi-Fi settings will automatically sync from the existing extender to the new ones.
