This kit includes 2 PLA6456 adapters. Plug one adapter into a power outlet near to your home router and then connect it to one of the Ethernet ports in the router with the cable provided. Plug the second Powerline adapter into an outlet in a location in your home where you want a wired Internet connection. Simply plug any wired Ethernet device into the second unit with the cable provided and it will have Internet access. Add more wired connections by adding more PLA6456KITs.
Tips:
Always plug the PLA6456 directly into a wall outlet. Avoid using splitters, power strips, or extension cords.
Avoid using the PLA6456 on circuits with high-power devices like heaters, vacuums, stoves, or other appliances that generate electrical noise, as this can interfere with the Powerline signal.
If youre experiencing connection issues, try unplugging other devices on the same circuit(s) one by one to identify the source of interference.
PLA6456 connects to the Ethernet port of your existing router or gateway and converts the signal into RF (radio frequency), which is transmitted through your homes electrical wiring. To extend your network, simply plug additional PLA6456 adapters into power outlets in rooms where you need a wired connection. These adapters will convert the RF signal back into a Gigabit Ethernet port, allowing you to connect any wired Ethernet device, such as gaming consoles, computers, or smart TVs.
Powerline is only designed for use in residential buildings. This is because the FCC puts different RF limitations on electrical devices designed for home use than for business use. Most commercial electrical systems have too much electrical noise for Powerline to function effectively.
