Adding Additional Powerline Adapters and Extenders
To add additional Powerline adapters and extenders with the default settings, simply plug them into the wall outlets on the same electrical circuit.

Secure the Powerline Network with the Pair Button

Tips: We recommend that you plug in the powerline devices near each other when pairing.

To set up a secure network:

  1. Press the Pair button for 1 second on the adapter. The Power LED starts blinking green quickly.
  2. Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button for 1 second on the extender. The Power LED starts blinking green quickly.
  3. When the Powerline LED turns solid green, it’s done.

Note:

  1. If the Power LED does not blink green quickly, press the Pair button again.
  2. 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.
