      If the Power LED on your TP-Link Adapter doesn't light up, ensure the adapter is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Test the outlet with another device to confirm it's active. Try re-plugging the adapter. If it still doesn't light up, contact your local dealer for technical support.

      If the Ethernet LED on your TP-Link Adapter doesn't light up, check that the Ethernet cable (RJ-45) is properly connected to the adapter's Ethernet port and to your computer's LAN card or Cable/xDSL Ethernet port. Also, ensure your computer LAN card is correctly installed and configured, and that your Cable/xDSL broadband access is working properly. If the Ethernet LED still doesn't light up, contact your local dealer for technical support.

      If the Powerline LED on your TP-Link Adapter doesn't light up, enable the Management Utility and click the 'Rescan' tab under the Network configuration homepage, so that the Management Utility will automatically detect all other Powerline Adapters on your power line network. Also, try plugging a second Powerline Adapter into a nearby power outlet to see if the Powerline LED lights up. If the Powerline LED still fails to light up, contact your local dealer for technical support.
