To form a Powerline network, you need at least two compatible Powerline devices (including
the WiFi extender).
For best performance, plan the locatio
n of your Powerline devices.
• Use
an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid accidentally turning
off the power to the outlet.
• A
void plugging Powerline products into electrical outlets that are located near appliances
that consume a lot of power, such as washers, dryers, or refrigerators. Interference from
these appliances might prevent Powerline products from working correctly or reduce
Powerline network performance.
• Do not p
lug Powerline products into a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector.
Connecting a Powerline product to one of these devices might prevent the product from
working correctly or reduce Powerline network performance.
