Chapter 1 Introduction  
Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding 300Mbps AV500/AV200 WiFi Powerline Extender.  
This device is not only a 500Mbps/200Mbps powerline Ethernet adapter which transforms your house’s  
existing electrical wiring into a ubiquitous networking infrastructure, but also a 300Mbps Wi-Fi Access  
Point which creates a wireless network allowing for greater range and mobility.  
As a powerline Ethernet adapter, it uses the existing power lines installed in a home as a path to  
transmit digital data, voice, audio and video between devices. Simply plug this 300Mbps AV500/AV200  
WiFi Powerline Extender into an ordinary AC power outlet, and then your Cable/xDSL broadband  
connection or existing Ethernet (LAN) network can be easily extended to any other electrical outlet in  
any room of a house with the absence of cabling. With powerline data rates of 500Mbps/200Mbps, full  
multimedia application can easily be supported throughout the whole house.  
As a Wi-Fi Access Point, it can transmit wireless data at the rate of up to 300Mbps. With multiple  
protection measures including SSID broadcast control, wireless LAN WEP encryption, and Wi-Fi  
Protected Access (WPA2- PSK, WPA-PSK), the device delivers complete data privacy.  
It supports an easy, Web-based management utility. Even though you may not be familiar with the  
device, you can easily configure it with the help of this Guide. The adapter adds three new functions  
which are found to be useful.

Chapter 2 Hardware Connection  
2.1 Before You Begin  
Please read this User Guide carefully before installing and using the equipment. The operating distance  
or range of your wireless connection varies significantly based on the physical placement of the  
powerline extender. Factors that can weaken signals by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves  
are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls. Typical ranges vary based on the types of materials and  
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.  
For best performance of your wireless network, you are suggested to place your powerline extender:  
1). Near the center of the area in which your wireless stations will operate.  
2). In an elevated location such as a high shelf.  
3). Away from the potential sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and cordless phones.  
4). With the Antenna in the upright position.  
5). Away from large metal surfaces.  
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to  
wirelessly connect to the powerline extender.  
Note:  
)
Take notes that this 300Mbps AV500/AV200 WiFi Powerline Extender works in pairs or with another  
powerline adapter. You need to plug the powerline extender into a power outlet; you will also need  
another powerline extender or powerline Ethernet adapter connected to your Cable/xDSL broadband  
(Ethernet port) in order to extend your broadband connection or Internet surfing. With clean powerline,  
the distance between two powerline Ethernet adapters can reach 300 meters, but the actual distance  
may vary due to the environment.  
Section below describes the 300Mbps AV500/AV200 WiFi Powerline Extender’s LED indicators,  
physical interface and hardware connection mechanism.

specified RTS Threshold size, the device will send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and  
negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.  
Fragmentation Threshold - This value is the maximum size determining whether packets will be  
fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance  
since excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting and is recommended.  
DTIM Interval - Determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). You can  
specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the  
DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.

Chapter 5 Pair Buttons  
5.1 Pair (Secure with 128 bits-AES)  
The Homeplug AV standard uses 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to safely transmit data  
between powerline dvices. For the powerline devices to communicate with each other, they all need to  
use the same Network Membership Key (NMK). Otherwise, they cannot unscramble the encrypted data  
sent in the powerline network.  
The Pair button allows you to set up a secure powerline connection with other HomePlug AV compliant  
powerline devices which also support the Pair feature. Here takes TP-LINK powerline devices for  
example (TL-WPA4220 for device A, TL-PA4010 for device B and C).  
5.2 Setting Up a Powerline Network with the Pair Button  
You can connect a number of devices on a powerline network, but you can use the Pair button on only  
two devices at a time.  
Create a Powerline network using the Pair button:  
Step 1. Press and hold the Pair button of powerline device A TL-WPA4220 for one second, the Power  
LED will start flashing.  
Step 2. Within two minutes, press and hold the Pair button of powerline device B TL-PA4010 for one  
second, the Power LED will start flashing.  
Step 3. Wait for about 60 seconds while your powerline device A and B are connecting. The Power  
LED on both devices will stop flashing and become solid light when the connection is made.  
Join an existing Powerline Network:  
Powerline device A and B have formed a powerline network, and powerline device C wants to join this  
network.  
Step 1. Press and hold the Pair button on powerline device C TL-PA4010 for one second.

Step 2. Within two minutes, press and hold the Pair button on Powerline device A/B for one second.  
Step 3. Wait for about 60 seconds while your powerline devices are connecting. The Power LED on  
powerline device A/B and C will stop flashing and become solid light when the connection is  
made.  
)
Note:  
The sequence of Step 1 and Step 2 can be exchanged.  
Leave an existing Powerline Network:  
As the figure above shows, powerline device A, B and C have formed a powerline network. The user  
wants to remove one device (powerline adapter C) from this network.  
Step 1. Press and hold the Pair button on powerline device C for at least 10 seconds. Powerline  
device C will reset and restart.  
Step 2. Wait for the reset to complete.  
5.3 Reset  
To reset the powerline device:  
Press and hold the Reset button more than 5 seconds, and then release the button. You will see all  
LEDs begin to flash. At this moment, the default settings have been restored.  
Be careful, don’t power off when the device is in reset process.
