User’s Application Scenario:

I have a wireless router in my house, but the wireless signal cannot reach every corner. So I bought a Powerline Wi- Fi Kit to extend the wireless network. The Powerline Wi-Fi Kit includes a powerline adapter and a powerline extender.

How can I do that?

Follow the steps below.

Step 1

Connect the powerline adapter to an available LAN port of the host router. Plug the powerline adapter into a wall socket. Plug the powerline extender into a wall socket near the adapter.

Connect the powerline adapter to an available LAN port of the host router.

Pair the powerline devices.

a. Press the Pair button of the powerline adapter for 1 second. The Power LED starts blinking.

Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press it again.

b. Within two minutes, press the Pair button of the powerline extender for 1 second. The Power LED starts blinking. When the Powerline LED stays on, the pairing process is done!
