A:AnswerEach adapter has a Security button that you press for 2 seconds (each within 2 minutes of each other) once installation is complete and the adapters are communicating with each other.
A:AnswerI doubt the GFI will have any effect on the signal. This is a great product. I would suggest not plugging anything else into the outlets that the Powerline adapter is plugged into. Directions state this and I haven’t tested otherwise.
A:AnswerAssuming you already have Internet, you’ll need to run a ethernet cable from your existing router to one of these plug-in units. Then, run another ethernet cable from the other (remote) plug-in unit to whatever device you want to connect to the Internet.
There is a tiny bit of configuration you have to do, but it is very simple to accomplish and the instructions are quite straightforward.
If what you want to do is create a new Wi-Fi hotspot in a remote location, they also have a pair of these where the remote unit is a Wi-Fi router.
A:AnswerFrom what I've seen. You can hook up multiple boxes. The hub is really just a box too. You would only need to do the initial setup with the new box. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerYes, this product should work as what you are describing is exactly what we had trouble with and needed help correcting. Our DVR and computer system is on 2nd floor. We installed this unit on the ground floor and it made our outdoor cameras work perfectly! Hope that helps!
A:AnswerYes. Ethernet cable from router to first adaptor. Plug first adaptor into an electrical outlet. Plug second adaptor into an electrical outlet near your computer. Ethernet cable from second adaptor into the computer. This eliminates the need to pick up your wifi signal.
A:AnswerI used it with my apple airport express for a long while. It worked great. Now I'm using it with a new lynksys router (bell in owns them now) and have no problems.
A:AnswerThis product is *not* a wireless extender, but it can still be used to accomplish what you want. What it does is convert the powerlines in your house to Ethernet cables, allowing you to extend your wired network. You have a couple options if you want to extend your wireless network. You can get an access point. To use that, you need to put the access point within range of your wireless network, connect to your network, then with any luck, that will give you the range you want. Only problem is that can slow down your network quite a bit. The ideal solution is a powerline adapter which also acts as a wireless extender, paired with one of these 1200 units. Reason being is it will use the powerline for transmitting and receiving data, which will then allow for the full bandwidth of your wireless network to be realized. Netgear makes a product that will do this. Take the powerline 1200, connect it via the provided cable to your router, then plug it in. Then take the access point and plug it in close to where you need the wireless signal. With any luck, the 2 adapters will pair up and you will have full bandwidth wireless in your dead zones. You will need to use the second plug if you are plugging the 1200 into a 2 plug recepticle as it is pretty big. In the event you have one of those cords that lay flat rather than stick out plugged into the same plug, you will have to get creative to make it work. One more thing, don't plug these adapters into a surge protector as the surge protector will filter out the signals these devices use. At the minimum, it will slow down the network, at the worst, they won't work. If you are concerned about a surge hitting your router, consider getting an additional Ethernet cable and a surge protector or UPS that has rj45 jacks.
A:AnswerThey need the house wiring to work. If the non-attached house is attached to your breaker box in the main house they should work. If you have a separate power supply and meter on the other house they will not work.
A:AnswerYes. Works okay for streaming and data transfer for up to 125Ft but if you plan on gaming I would run Ethernet or a good mesh Wi-Fi setup like this one from Linksys. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/linksys-velop-ac2200-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-5-system-3-pack-white/5709451.p?skuId=5709451
If you can afford a WiFi 6 setup and you have money burning a whole in you pocket get it. The Wi-Fi 5 setup is good for speed up to 500Mbit with better ping rates than an Ethernet over power adapter. Even this one.
A:AnswerI have the same issue, and also want to know the answer. The OP says that s/he has ONE meter, not two. Will this system work in this situation?
A:AnswerThe color you should be seeing is Orange, not Pink. Orange means that the adapter is in rest mode to save power. To turn that adapter green like the other one, you need to plug it into the device you need the internet on using another Ethernet cable. For example, in my photos the adapter that is green is plugged into my modem, but the adapter plugged into my PlayStation 4 is orange because the system is off and not using it.
A:AnswerIt all depends on the distance between your router and the surveillance recorder. This device is not powerful enough for big areas. Also if there is any kind of radio interference then the signal may not be as good. I suggest you hardwire your connection. Specially for surveillance systems.
