NP511 – 500Mbps Powerline Adapters User Guide

v1.1

Determining connection rate

Each colour of the Powerline Activity LED represents a connection rating. The connection rating can only be calculated when the
device is part of an existing network. The exact connection rate value can also be viewed using Powerline Utility.

Good (Red) – Connection rate is less than 30 Mbps

Better (Amber) – Connection rate is between 30 to 80 Mbps

Best (Green) – Connection rate is more than 80 Mbps

Power saving mode

After 15 minutes without Ethernet activity, the Power LED blinks slowly indicating that the adapter is in power saving mode.
