Frequently Asked Questions - HP-6002K Edimax

How do I set up the Edimax HP-6002K powerline adapter?

Simply plug the adapter into a wall outlet and connect it to your router or device via the Gigabit Ethernet port. Repeat for additional adapters. They will automatically form a secure network. For advanced features, install the utility software from the CD.

How do I reset the HP-6002K to factory defaults?

Press and hold the Group button for 8 to 12 seconds until the Power LED blinks and then turns off. Release the button; the adapter will reset.

Can I use the HP-6002K with older HomePlug 1.0 devices?

No. The HP-6002K uses the HomePlug AV standard and is incompatible with HomePlug 1.0 (14 Mbps) and 1.1 (85 Mbps) devices.

What should I do if the powerline adapters are not connecting?

Try the following: 1) Power cycle the adapters by unplugging for 10 seconds. 2) Use a pin to press the reset button for 2 seconds. 3) Plug directly into a wall outlet, avoid power strips. 4) Ensure all adapters are on the same electrical circuit. 5) Check for interference from fluorescent lights or GFCI outlets.

How do I add a new adapter to an existing powerline network?

Press the Group button on an existing adapter for less than 3 seconds. Within 120 seconds, press the Group button on the new adapter for more than 3 seconds. Wait for the connection to establish.

How do I remove an adapter from the network and join another?

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting

If your powerline adapters have diculty communicang with each other, try the following procedures:

• Try power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the electric outlet for 10 seconds and plugging it in again.
• Use a pin to hold the reset buon down for 2 seconds on each unit you are trying to connect. The units will reset and aempt to establish a conncon using factory default sengs.
• Try plugging the powerline adapter into an adjacent electric outlet.
• Powerline adapters work better when plugged directly into an electric outlet. Using a power strip or surge protector may degrade network performance or completely block network signals.
• This powerline adapter should not be used on GFI protected electric outlets, as some outlets will iter out the powerline signal.
• This powerline adapter should not be used in areas with excessive heat.
• Certain orescent or incandescent lights are noise sources that can degrade performance.
• If your building has more than one circuit breaker box, your powerline adapters may not be able to establish a conncon across dierent circuit breaker boxes. In such cases, try establishing a conncon across dierent circuit breaker boxes by linking two powerline adapters together with an Ethernet cable.
