2. Familiarize yourself with the Powerline HD Plus Ethernet Adapter. The front panel has a pass-
through outlet, a Standby button, a Security button, and three LEDs: AP, Status, and Ethernet.
The Ethernet port is located on the bottom.
3. Plan the location of your Powerline devices.
• Do not connect the Powerline HD Plus Ethernet Adapter to a power strip, extension cord,
or surge protector as this might prevent it from working properly or degrade the network
performance.
• Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid someone
unknowingly turning off the power to the outlet.
• For best Powerline performance, plan to connect adjacent electrical appliances of up to 15
amps directly to the pass-through AC outlet. The outlet filters out noise that affects
Powerline performance.
