Diagram Explanation:
The first Powerline unit is networked to a router which is in turn connected to a router (typically supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP)) that provides Internet connectivity. A second Powerline Adapter is plugged into a wall power outlet near a media center and is providing Internet connectivity to a game a game console and a Blu-ray player / media player via Ethernet.
Installing Your Powerline Adapter
Powerline Security
All out-of-the-box TRENDnet HomePlugAV Powerline adapters can be connected to each other without further configuration. To add additional network security to your network, you can change your Powerline network name away from the factory default. With a customized private network name, no one can connect to your Powerline network with an out-of-the-box HomePlugAV adapter.
TRENDnet HomePlugAV certified Powerline adapters have the same default network name "HomePlugAV". TRENDnet recommends that you change the Powerline network name away from the factory default to increase network security. Once configured, the Powerline network name will be saved on device. You can freely unplug the adapter and moved to the other location within its operating range. If a mistake is made in the settings, the adapter can be reset to the factory default settings by pressing the Reset button for 1 second.
If you want to use the default network name for easy connection, skip the synchronization steps and go directly to Physical Installation on page 12.
Scramble your Network Name Away from the Factory Default
There are two ways to change the default network name:
- (Recommended) Use the physical Sync button on your Powerline adapter to generate a random private network name. See Connecting the Powerline Adapters in following section.
OR
- Create a customized private network name for your Powerline network by using the included Powerline Utility. See The Powerline Utility on page 15.
* If the Powerline adapter settings have been changed, the adapter must be reset to the factory default settings to be recognized by Powerline Utility.
Scramble with the Sync button
- Make sure your TPL-420E is powered on and not in sleep mode.
- The physical Sync button on the Powerline adapter provides an easy way to change the network name. Push and hold the Sync button for 15 seconds. All LEDs will turned off and then turned on again. This will generate a new random network name for your Powerline adapter.
TRENDnet User's Guide TPL-420E/TPL-420E2K
Before Physical Installation
It is recommended that you create the Powerline data connection next to each other before physically install the Powerline adapter to the outlet you want. With this practice, you can have ample time to do the synchronization with the side by side Powerline adapter instead of running around to different rooms. And, you can make sure your Powerline adapters are properly setup and working good in your electric network.
Note: If you don't want to change the use the default network name for easy connection, skip the following steps and go directly to Physical Installation on page 12
Connecting the Powerline Adapters
- Make sure your Powerline adapter is powered on and not in sleep mode. The Power LED should be on.
- Scramble the first Powerline adapter by pushing Sync button for 15 seconds. All LEDs will turned off and then turned on again. This will generate a new random network name for your Powerline adapter.
- Make sure the second Powerline adapter is powered on and plug in the same electric network. No power strip, power break, or any kind of power switch in between.
Start connecting
-
Push and hold the Sync button on the first (the one with scrambled network name) Powerline adapter for 2 seconds and then release it. The Powerline adapter is starting a 2 minutes synchronization session. It will accept the other synchronization request on the same electric network. The Power LED will start blinking showing it is in synchronizing.
-
Push and hold the Sync button on the second Powerline adapter for 2 seconds and release it. The Power LED will start blinking. The adapter will request for synchronizing. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on in the end of the session. The Powerline LED will turn on when the adapters are connected successfully.
Connecting Additional Powerline Adapters
Follow up the same steps described in the last section. You can choose any one of the Powerline adapter already connected as the first adapter. Start the synchronization session on that Powerline adapter first. And then start the synchronization session on the additional Powerline adapter.

Physical Installation
With the synchronized Powerline adapters or the out-of-box adapters, now you can set up your Powerline adapters to the location you want your network extends to.
There are several location choosing considerations of where you will install your Powerline adapters.
- Avoid plugging the adapters into power strips, extension cords, or surge protectors as this may prevent the adapter from functioning correctly or degrade performance.
- Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are controlled by a light switch to prevent the Powerline Adapter from being turned off accidentally.
- Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are located near appliances that consume a lot of power (e.g. refrigerators, washers, dryers) as this may degrade performance.
- Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room where the router is installed and also near the router.
- Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room where you want to extend network connectivity.
- For AV2 1200 Powerline adapters, make sure your electric network has 3 wires properly installed.

- Plug the Powerline adapter into an available wall power outlet near your router.
- Connect the included network cable from the Ethernet port of your Powerline adapter to an available Ethernet port on your network router.
- Once the Powerline adapter is installed and connected to your router, verify that the Power LED is on or blinking and the Ethernet LED is on or blinking.
- Plug in the second Powerline adapter to an available wall power outlet in another room near a computer or network device (e.g. game consoles, network-enabled TVs, network attached storage, network media server/players, etc.) you want to connect to your network.
- Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your Powerline adapter and then connect the other end to the
TRENDnet User's Guide TPL-420E/TPL-420E2K
Ethernet port on your computers or another network enabled device.
- After the additional Powerline adapter is connected and installed to your computer or network device, wait for the Power LED to turn on. After the Power LED turns on, verify that the Powerline LED is on or blinking, and the Ethernet LED is on or blinking.
Create Multiple Powerline Networks
It is possible to create multiple Powerline networks on the same electric system separated and grouped by different network names. 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 through 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.
Scramble the Powerline network name by pressing Sync button for 15 seconds and then add more Powerline adapter in the same group with steps described above.
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 may result in significant degradation in Powerline performance.
