• Avoid using the Powerline devices into an electrical outlet located near a device that uses a lot of energy, such as a washer, dryer or refrigerator. This could prevent the adapter to function properly or have a negative impact on network performance.

2. On the NON-Wireless unit (the smallest with three lights), press and hold the button next to the network connection for 10 seconds.
3. On the wireless unit (the largest with four lights) press and hold the reset hole with a paper clip for 10 seconds
4. Check that the house-shaped light is lit green on both products. Again, this indicates the power level communication between the two units.
5. Scan now for wireless networks from your computer
6. Locate the network whose name starts with "dlink"
7. Connect and enter the password that appears on the card included with the product
8. Verify that you have Internet connection
