The TPL-310AP 200Mbps Powerline AV Wireless N Access Point is an excellent solution that can be used to extend your network using your home or small office electrical wiring. In a home or small office building, use TPL-310AP adapters to link multiple locations without the need to run long Ethernet cables. Combined with a single broadband DSL/Cable Internet connection, every room with electrical power outlets can provide easy access to your high-speed Internet connection.
The TPL-310AP 200Mbps Powerline AV Wireless N Access Point allows you to create or extend a wireless network using powerline technology. Using powerline as the network backbone, the TPL-310AP can be placed at where a wireless signal is needed, rather than at the farthest corner of a wireless network. Multiple TPL-310AP adapters can be used to cover larger areas without increasing wireless radiation and through the use of powerline as your network backbone with no additional wiring required. In addition, any Ethernet-enabled device may be connected to the 10/100Mbps Auto-MIDX Fast Ethernet port.
The TPL-310AP coverage is provided by sending data signals through the walls themselves via the electrical system using powerline technology and then supplying 802.11 wireless connectivity in the room where it is needed. In environments where wireless cannot provide a high degree of performance/connectivity, powerline will provide an alternative option to this obstacle. With 802.11n wireless data rates of up to 300Mbps and HomePlug® AV speeds of up to 200Mbps, this easy-to-setup solution can provide fast streaming HD movies, online multiplayer games, and other data intensive applications for today's HD Entertainment Center demand.
This versatile Powerline product has many applications:
Expanding an Existing Powerline Network
If you have an existing Powerline AV network already installed, simply plug in TRENDnet's TPL-310AP into any outlet on your electrical system and connect it to your Powerline network. You will then have Internet access from the TPL-310AP's wireless network and from its Ethernet port.
Expanding a Wireless Network
If you already have an existing wireless network and would like to expand wireless coverage, simply connect a TRENDnet Powerline AV adapter to your existing router. Then plug in TRENDnet's TPL-310AP in an area with poor or no wireless coverage. Finally, connect the TPL-310AP to the first Powerline adapter using the one-touch Sync button. You will now have wireless coverage in an area that was not covered in the past.
Expanding a Wired Network
If you have an existing wired router and would like to create both a wireless and a Powerline network, simply connect TRENDnet's TPL-310AP to your wired router and plug it into an electrical outlet. To further expand the Powerline network, plug in up to 15 additional TRENDnet Powerline AV adapters into any outlet on your electrical system.

4.1 Create a powerline network and extend you wireless network
The following procedure describes how to create a basic powerline network between the TPL-310AP and an additional TRENDnet powerline adapter model TPL-303E (or TPL-304E, TPL-305E, TPL-401E) and share Internet connection through a router to a computer or network appliance in another room. The procedure assumes the following: - You have one additional TRENDnet HomePlug® AV powerline adapter (models TPL-303E, TPL-304E, TPL-305E, TPL-401E) and the powerline settings are set to factory defaults. If you have an existing powerline network (2 or 3 other TRENDnet powerlines adapters already plugged in and connected) and you are adding the TPL-310AP, please refer to section 4.5. - The TPL-310AP has already been initially configured in (AP) Access Point mode to allow wireless computers or devices to wirelessly connect covered in Chapter 2. - Your router is already installed and configured for Internet connectivity. flowchart

4.2 Securing your Powerline Network
The TPL-310AP 200Mbps Powerline AV Wireless N Access Point has a default powerline network name/security key assignment of “HomePlugAV”. When connecting TRENDnet HomePlug® AV powerline adapters, the adapters will be assigned the default network/security key which allows adapters to establish connectivity through your home or small office’s electrical system without the need for additional software or configuration. For added security, the default network name/security key can be modified using the TPL-310AP Sync button covered in the section 3.3 or through the use of the Powerline Configuration Utility in Chapter 5. Note: The default network name/security key assigned to the TPL-310AP is “HomePlugAV”. All powerline adapters in the same powerline network must have the same network name/security key in order to establish connectivity. If the network name/security keys are not the same for all powerline adapters on the same powerline network, the adapter will NOT establish connectivity. TRENDnet Powerline AV models TPL-303E, TPL-304E, TPL-305E, TPL-310AP, and TPL-401E all have the same default network name/security key assignment of “HomePlugAV”.4.3 Changing the Network Name/Security Key using the Sync Button
The procedure describes how to create a change the network name/security key between the TPL-310AP and an additional TRENDnet HomePlug® AV powerline adapter (models TPL-303E, TPL-304E, TPL-305E, TPL-401E). This procedure can also be used to establish connectivity between two powerline adapters that are currently disconnected and change the default network name/security key simultaneously. The example below demonstrates how to accomplish using the TPL-310AP and the TPL-303E, however, this procedure also applies to other TRENDnet HomePlug® AV powerline adapters. flowchart

4.5 Overlapping Powerline Networks
It is possible to create multiple powerline networks on the same electrical system separated and grouped by different network names/security keys. The powerline networks will work and communicate independently of each other which can provide security between different groups of powerline adapters. For example, if you have five powerline adapters (Adapter A, Adapter B, Adapter C, Adapter D, Adapter E), you can group Adapters A,B, and C together on one powerline network and group Adapters D and E on a different powerline network. Each group will use a different network name/security key. Note: It is recommended that only a maximum of up to 4 powerline networks can be created per electrical system. Any additional powerline networks above the recommended result in significant degradation in powerline performance.4.6 Moving Powerline Adapters between different Powerline Networks
Use the previous procedures in Chapter 4: Powerline, Sections 4.1 - 4.4, to connect one group of adapters, then you can carry out the procedures on another group of adapters to create multiple overlapping powerline networks. This procedure describes how to disconnect a powerline adapter from one powerline network and connect the adapter to a different powerline network. flowchart

Please reference the items below if you continue to experience difficulty with installing and using your TPL-401E 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter. - Try power cycling the unit by unplugging it from the wall power outlet for 15 seconds and plugging it back in. - If the PL LED is red indicating good quality only, try plugging the TPL-401E into another available wall power outlet to check if you can obtain better connection quality. - Use a pin or paperclip and push and hold the Reset button for 1 second on each TPL-401E powerline adapter. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on. This will reset the TPL-401E powerline adapters to the default settings, network name/security key assignment “HomePlugAV”. - The TPL-401E can provide better connectivity and performance when plugged directly into the wall power outlet instead of a power strip or surge protector. - Connecting the TPL-401E to a power strip or surge protector may degrade network performance or completely stop network signals. - The TPL-401E should not be used on GFI protected outlets as some outlets will filter out powerline signals. - The TPL-401E should not be used in areas with excessive heat. - Certain fluorescent or incandescent lights are noise sources on the electrical and can degrade powerline performance. If your building has more than one circuit breaker box, the TPL-401E may not be able to establish connectivity between different circuit breaker boxes. In this case, connect a TPL-401E powerline adapter to a power outlet located on each of the circuit breaker boxes, and then connect an Ethernet cable between the TPL-401E powerline adapters to bridge the two circuits together. This will allow the TPL-401E powerline adapters from different circuit breaker boxes connect to each other.Wireless Installation Considerations
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. 1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will lose. 2. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the amount of obstructions between them. 3. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal. 4. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the wireless adapter's site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for your wireless devices. 5. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors. 6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as 2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz frequency can potentially drop the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base can still transmit wireless signal. Move the phone's base station as far away as possible from your wireless devices. If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may also provide the necessary coverage depending on the environment.| Hardware | |
