Installation Tips
1. For best results, use in a standard wall outlet without any other products plugged into the same outlet.
Connecting this product to a power strip or a surge protector may adversely affect the performance of this
product.
2. Avoid using the PowerLine adapters in an electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that uses a lot of
power such as a washer, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, hair dryer, or air conditioning system.
3. Plug the PowerLine adapters in the same room in order to verify whether your home’s electrical wiring is
suitable. Once configured you may place the PowerLine adapters to the location of your choice.
To secure your network, press the Simple Connect button for 2
seconds on one of your existing PowerLine devices. The Power
LED will start to blink. Then, within 2 minutes, press the Simple
Connect button on the DHP-308AV for 2 seconds.
You may now attach Ethernet devices such as a computer, game console, or media
player via an Ethernet cable. With the Ethernet device powered on, verify that
the Ethernet LED is lit on the adapters to indicate a good connection. Setup is
complete.
