Connection via power strip
If you must connect this device to a power strip, please keep the following
recommendation in mind:
• Make sure the power strip does not have a noise filter or a surge protector, as
these features may impair communication signaling of the Powerline device sent
over the electric wiring, and its throughput or distance will be degraded.
• Use a power strip with an AC cord that is as short as possible.
• Do not connect the adaptor to a power strip that receives power from another
power strip.
Electrical interference
Certain electrical devices emit electrical noise. If this noise is spread over to the
electrical wiring in your home, it may interfere with the performance, speed, and
reliability of this device. For best results, we recommend connecting an electrical
noise filter to noise emitting appliances.
The following appliances are more likely to produce noise:
• Battery chargers (including cell phone chargers)
• Hair dryers
• Power drills
• Halogen light
• vacuum cleaner
Additionally, this product may interfere with the following appliance:
• Lights or lamps which have a touch-sensitive on/off feature
Electrical wiring
This device sends data to and from each other over the existing electrical wiring of
your house. If two wall outlets are separated by a great distance of electrical wiring,
these devices may not communicate well with each other. For more information,
refer to the troubleshooting section.
