Frequently Asked Questions - SimpleNet MANHATTAN

How do I set up the Manhattan SimpleNet adapter?

Plug the adapter into an electrical outlet near your router, connect it to your router using the provided Ethernet cable, then plug additional SimpleNet adapters into other outlets to extend the network. No drivers are needed; it is plug and play.

What should I do if the adapter is not connecting?

First, ensure all adapters are plugged directly into a wall outlet (not a power strip). Check that the Power LED is lit and the Ethernet LED shows activity. Try pressing the sync button (if available) or resetting the adapter by unplugging it for 10 seconds. Verify your router's DHCP is enabled.

Can I use this adapter with other HomePlug AV devices?

Yes, the SimpleNet is compatible with other HomePlug AV certified devices. However, it is not compatible with Powerline Turbo Ethernet Bridge, but they can coexist on the same wiring without interference.

Does the adapter support 128-bit encryption?

Yes, it uses 128-bit AES Link Encryption with automatic key management to secure your powerline communications.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The Power LED indicates the adapter is receiving power. The Power line Link/Activity LED shows connection to other adapters and data activity. The Ethernet Link/Activity LED indicates a wired connection to a device and data activity.

Can this adapter be used outdoors?

No, the adapter is designed for indoor use only. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C, and it should not be exposed to moisture.

How do I reset the adapter to factory defaults?

To reset, press and hold the reset button (usually a small pinhole) on the adapter for about 10 seconds using a paperclip, until all LEDs flash. Release the button; the adapter will reboot.

Is the adapter compatible with Windows 10?

The configuration utility requires Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 8, but the adapter itself is plug-and-play and should work on any OS with a network interface. For management, you may need to use the included software on a compatible Windows version.

What is the maximum distance between adapters?

The distance depends on your home’s electrical wiring. Typically, HomePlug AV can work across different circuits within a house, but performance may degrade over longer distances or through circuit breakers.

How do I clean the adapter?

Unplug the adapter before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasives.
