Adding Additional Adapters
Unsecured Network Mode: For unsecured (factory default) network adapters, simply plug the new adapter(s) into an
outlet and connect the Ethernet port to the new network device.
Secured Network Mode: To add additional adapters to a secure network, repeat steps 3-5 above.
-Plug the new unit into the outlet desired, press and hold the secure pairing button for 10 seconds (until the lights blink
off, then release).
-Press the secure pairing button for two seconds on any adapter already paired in the secure network.
-Press the pairing button for two seconds on the new adapter.
-Repeat these three steps for each additional adapter.
Optimizing Network Performance
-Plug adapters directly into the wall outlet, not in a power strip or extension cord. If needed, it’s better to plug the unit
directly into a wall outlet and use a longer Ethernet cable to reach the device, than plug the adapter into a power strip
nearby the equipment.
-Do not plug the adapters into a GFCI outlet, the internal circuitry of a GFCI greatly decreases the connection speed.
-Avoid using the adapter in the same outlet or circuit as major appliances such as clothes or dish washers, electric
clothes dryers, and refrigerators.
-Avoid using a mobile phone or tablet (wall mount type) charger in the same outlet as the adapter.
