Powerline PassThru Adapter
When the Power and Powerline LEDs stop blinking, the process is complete. If the
Powerline LEDs are green or amber, the devices are successfully connected to the
Powerline network. A red Powerline LED indicates a slow link rate. In this case, move the
Powerline device to another electrical outlet with a faster connection.
7. Secure your Powerline network.
See Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key on page 16.
Add the Adapter to an Existing Powerline Network
If you have an existing Powerline network, make sure that one of the Powerline devices is
connected to your router or gateway so that the Powerline network is linked to your local area
network (LAN). Your Powerline network must have two or more compatible Powerline
devices that communicate with each other.
To add the Powerline PassThru adapter to a Powerline network:
1. If you used the Security buttons or NETGEAR genie to secure your Powerline network,
press the Factory Reset button for two seconds on each Powerline device to return it to
its factory default settings.
This method is the quickest way to allow your Powerline PassThru adapter to
communicate with the other Powerline devices.
2.
Plug the Powerline PassThru adapter into a wall outlet
where you want to add Internet access.
3. (Optional) Use the Ethernet cable that came with your
adapter to connect the adapter to an Ethernet port on a
computer
, game console, Blu-ray player, or other
peripheral device.
The Powerline devices attempt to detect each other
and form a Powerline network.
4. Wait for the Powerline network to recognize each
Powerline device.
This process could take as little as 5 seconds or up to
80 seconds.
