Quick Installation Guide

1. Plug the adapter into a power outlet and connect it to the router’s LAN port via an Ethernet cable.

2. Plug the extenders into power outlets on the same electrical circuit. Wait until the extender’s Powerline LED turns on.
   Note: If the LED is blinking or off, please refer to FAQ > Q2.

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

Plug powerline devices into wall outlets instead of power strips.
Using power strip will affect network performance or even cause connection drops.

Unify Your Wi-Fi Networks

Pair your powerline devices and copy SSID and password from your router to create one unified Wi-Fi network throughout your home.

Sync Wi-Fi Settings Across Your 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. Pair Adapter and Extender A.

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

   • b. Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button on Extender A for 1 second. Its Power LED starts blinking.

   • c. When the Powerline LED turns on, the process is complete.

2. Repeat Step 1 to pair Adapter and Extender B.

3. Wi-Fi settings of Extender A (the first paired extender) will be synced to Extender B. Any changes made to the Wi-Fi settings of one powerline extender will be automatically synced to the other powerline extender.

Copy SSID and Password from Your Router via WPS:

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.
