Follow these steps to set up your TP-Link Powerline Adapter Kit.

2.1 Step 1: Plug in the First Adapter

1. Plug one powerline adapter directly into a wall outlet near your internet router. Avoid using power strips or extension cords, as they can degrade performance.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a LAN port on your router and the other end to an Ethernet port on the powerline adapter.

2.2 Step 2: Plug in the Second Adapter

1. Plug the second powerline adapter directly into a wall outlet in the room where you need internet access.
2. Connect one end of the second Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on this powerline adapter and the other end to your device (e.g., computer, smart TV, game console).

2.3 Step 3: Verify Connection

Wait for the Powerline LED on both adapters to turn solid green. A solid green light indicates a successful powerline network connection. If the Powerline LED is off or blinking, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

2.4 Pairing Adapters (Optional)

The adapters in the kit are typically pre-paired. If they do not connect automatically, or if you are adding new adapters to an existing powerline network, you may need to pair them manually:

1. Agħfas il- Par button on the first adapter for one second. The Power LED will begin to blink.
2. Fi żmien żewġ minuti, agħfas Par button on the second adapter for one second. The Power LED will also begin to blink.
3. When the Powerline LED on both adapters turns solid green, they are successfully paired and connected.

3. Operazzjoni

3.1 Indikaturi LED

The adapters feature LED indicators to show their current status:

3.2 Modalità Iffrankar tal-Enerġija

The adapters are designed to be energy-efficient. They automatically detect the activity status of connected devices and reduce power consumption when no data transmission is occurring, helping to save energy.

4. Manutenzjoni

• Keep the powerline adapters in a dry environment, away from excessive heat sources, direct sunlight, and moisture.
• Tippruvax tiżżarma jew issewwi l-apparat int stess. Irreferi għal kull manutenzjoni f'idejn persunal kwalifikat.
• Naddaf l-apparat b'ċarruta ratba u niexfa. Tużax prodotti tat-tindif likwidi jew aerosol.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the adapters; do not block ventilation openings.

5 Issolvi l-problemi

5.1 No Powerline Connection (Powerline LED is off)

• Ensure both powerline adapters are plugged directly into wall outlets, not into power strips, surge protectors, or extension cords. These devices can filter out the powerline signal.
• Try plugging the adapters into different wall outlets within the same room or on the same electrical circuit to rule out specific outlet issues.
• Verify that the electrical circuits used by the adapters are on the same electrical meter. Powerline devices typically do not work across different electrical phases or meters.
• If the issue persists, try manually pairing the adapters as described in the "Pairing Adapters (Optional)" section of the Setup Guide.

5.2 Veloċità Bil-mod

• Avoid plugging powerline adapters into outlets near high-power consuming appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, or microwave ovens, as these can generate electrical noise and interfere with the powerline signal.
• Ensure the electrical wiring in your home is in good condition. Older or faulty wiring can significantly degrade powerline performance.
• The advertised maximum speed of 500Mbps is a theoretical maximum. Actual speeds will vary based on your network environment, electrical interference, distance between adapters, and other factors.
• If possible, try moving the adapters to different outlets to find a clearer electrical path.
