Operation
Operation is completely automatic, and no user intervention is required.
If your HomePlug devices have difficulty communicating with each other, check the following:

Each HomePlug device must use the same Network Key.
You can use the Encryption tab of the PLI-2040 utility to assign a Network Key to other HomePlug devices.

200Mbps HomePlug AV Adapter works better when plugged into the wall socket. Connect the 200Mbps Ho-
mePlug AV Adapter into the power strip or surge protectors may degrade the network performance.
