Chapter 2: Wireless Access Point Initial Setup
When installing the TPL-310AP for the first time, it required for you to configure the device
from a wired computer. Since the default IP address of the TPL-310AP is 192.168.10.100, please make
sure to assign an IP address to the TPL-310AP that is NOT assigned to any other devices on your net-
work. If your network IP address range is NOT 192.168.10.x, then the TPL-310AP IP address should be
assigned with your network’s IP address range (i.e. 192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x, 192.168.0.x) This chapter
covers the typical configuration of the TPL-310AP in Access Point (AP) mode using the Setup Wizard. If
you are an experienced user, other web configuration settings can be referenced in Chapter 3. Once
the initial setup is complete, Chapter 4 will cover creating a powerline network with one additional po-
werline adapter, or adding the TPL-310AP to existing powerline network.
1.
Plug the TPL-310AP into an available power outlet within reach of your computer’s network ca-

2.
Connect a network cable from the TPL-310AP Wireless Access Point’s network port (located at
the bottom of the device) into the computer’s network port.
3.
Move the power switch (located at the top of the device) to the “On” position.
4.
Assign a static IP address to your computer’s network adapter to 192.168.10.10 and subnet
