How do I reset my Powerline adapter?

Press and hold the Reset button (with a point) until all LEDs turn off and then back on.

What should I do if I have no Internet access via my Powerline network?

Check that all adapters are on the same electrical circuit, that the Powerline LEDs are on, that the Ethernet cables are properly connected, and that your Internet connection works directly on the modem.

My Powerline extender does not reconnect after moving it, what should I do?

Make sure the adapters are on the same circuit, re-pair them, and avoid interference sources (dryer, air conditioner).

How do I pair the Powerline adapters?

Press the Pair button on the adapter for 1 second, then within 2 minutes press the Pair button on the extender. The Powerline LED lights up when pairing is successful.

1. Enjoy!

Tips: You can add more powerline devices to the existing powerline network by pairing these devices.

Attention

- Plug the powerline devices directly into the wall outlets but not the power strips.

- For passthrough powerline devices, plug the power strips into the integrated electrical sockets of the powerline devices.

Copy Wi-Fi Settings from Router to Extender

If your router supports WPS, you can follow the steps below to automatically copy the router's Wi-Fi settings (SSID and password) to the powerline extender.

1. Plug in the powerline extender near your router. Press the WPS button on your router.
2. Within 2 minutes, press the Wi-Fi button on the extender for 1 second.
3. When the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi LED and 5GHz Wi-Fi LED on the extender blink quickly for 3 seconds, and then stay on, it's done!

* 5GHz Wi-Fi is not available on single-band products. For multiple-band products, the powerline extender copies by default both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless settings at the same time. If it fails to copy both, your router may be only able to clone one band at a time. Please check your router's manual for support.

Note: The wireless settings can also be configured through the powerline extender's web interface or through the tpPLC app. You can download the app from the App Store or Google Play, or simply scan the QR code.
