This Article Applies to:

Q: What is powerline networking?

A: Powerline networking is networking through existing wires, and there is no need to set up new network cables. It is low-cost, widely used, high-speed and stable, and the transmission speed has developed from 14 megabits a few years ago to 1000 megabits today.

Q: Can a powerline adapter be used alone?

A: At least two wired powerline adapters are required to use. One is connected to the Internet, and the other is connected to the computer or other network devices. Wireless powerline adapters can be used alone.

Q: If this product is plugged into a power socket, can it immediately access the Internet?

A: No. It is necessary to pair the two devices successfully and have a normal network at home. Only in this way can you access the Internet.

Q: What happens if the power light of the powerline adapter flashes slowly?

A: It has entered power saving mode (sleep state). You need to connect the network cable of the computer and the powerline adapter to wake it up. Or re-plug the powerline adapter to wake it up. Power saving mode cannot be reset.

Q: Under what circumstances will the powerline adapter P3 enter power saving mode?

A: When there is no network cable plugged into the network port of the powerline modem or the device connected to the powerline modem is not powered on, it will enter power saving mode after waiting for about 5 minutes.

Q: Do I need to set any parameters to use this product?

A: No. This product is a plug-and-play powerline device. Two products can be automatically paired and networked when connected to the same power grid without any settings.

Q: How many powerline adapters can be connected to the same power grid at most?

A: There can be multiple groups of powerline modems paired and networked in the same power grid, with 8 powerline adapters in each group.

Q: How many devices can the P3 powerline modem carry?

A: If the network device connected in front of the powerline modem has enough device capacity and bandwidth, when browsing the web normally: the P3 whole machine can carry about 10-15 devices, and if you are watching videos, it will be reduced by about half.

Q: What is the longest powerline distance for two powerline adapters to communicate?

A: In the absence of electrical appliances or interference sources, the longest wire between two powerline adapters can reach 300 meters, but the transmission speed will decrease after 100 meters.

Q: Can powerline products from different brands communicate with each other?

A: Yes.Gigabit powerline adapters support the latest HomePlug AV2 standard and are backward compatible with the HomePlug AV standard;100M powerline adapters support the HomePlug AV standard; they are compatible with 200M, 500M and other powerline products from other brands that support the HomePlug AV standard.

Q: Is it safe to use a powerline adapter when there is lightning?

A: Safe. This network extender has built-in lightning protection facilities. Even if the building is struck by lightning, it will not damage the computer or other devices connected to the powerline adapter.
