Important: Plug the devices directly into a wall socket. Do not plug the
devices into a power strip, surge protector, or similar power extension.
Connect the Network Devices and Computers

opposite ends into AC power outlets in separate locations (one location must be
close to your modem or router).
2. Be sure that the power switch on each device is set to the On position. The
power LED on both devices illuminates.
3. Connect your router (with modem and other devices/computers connected) and
up to three more devices or computers to the Ethernet ports in one location.
4. Connect up to four more devices or computers in the other location.
5. Make sure the power switch on all powerline devices is set to ON.
6. See “Sharing Internet Access on the Livewire Network” on page 4 and “Sample
Livewire Home Network” on page 5 for possible configurations.
