Press and hold the button for more than 6 seconds to reset the powerline adapter to factory defaults.
Ethernet Port
Connect the Ethernet port to your wired devices, such as a computer, a router, or a game console, via an Ethernet cable.
Before You Start
Powerline adapters work in pairs. You should have at least two powerline products to build a powerline network. To optimize your network performance, please follow these principles:
- All powerline adapters should be on the same electrical wiring system.
- Avoid plugging in powerline adapters and high-powered household devices (such as washing machines and refrigerators) close to one another.
- Plug the powerline adapter directly into a wall outlet. Do not plug the powerline adapter into a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector.
- Environment:
- Operating Temperature: 0 ºC ~ 40 ºC (32°F ~ 104°F )
- Storage Temperature: -20°C~70°C (-4°F~158°F)
- Operating Humidity: 10%~90%RH, Non-condensing
- Storage Humidity: 5%~90%RH, Non-condensing
Extend Your Wired Network by Plug & Play
I want to:
Use two powerline adapters to set up a new powerline network in my house.
For example, I have a router in my house, but there are not enough LAN ports for all my wired devices. I don’t want complex and expensive cabling. People told me that I can solve this problem with two powerline adapters.
How can I do that?
- Connect one of the powerline adapters to an available LAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable.
- Plug the powerline adapter into a wall outlet.
- Plug the other powerline adapter into a wall outlet on the same electrical circuit. Wait until the powerline
LED turns on. - Connect your wired device, such as a computer or game console, to the powerline adapter via an Ethernet cable.
Done! Now enjoy the internet!
Secure Your Powerline Network by Pairing
All powerline adapters share some common factory settings and can communicate with one another. If you want your powerline adapters to communicate only with your own powerline adapters, you should pair them. Thus a secured powerline network is formed and other powerline adapters can no longer join your powerline network without being paired.
Note: You can only pair two devices at a time.
I want to:
Secure my powerline network and prevent other powerline devices from being added to my network.
For example, I’ve extended my network using the Plug & Play method. Now I want to secure my network.
How can I do that?
- Verify all powerline devices’ Power LEDs are solid on. Tips: We recommend that you plug in your powerline devices near each other, or as close to each other as possible when pairing. Your settings will not be affected. The devices can be relocated to where they are needed once pairing is complete.
- Press the Pair button on one of the powerline devices for 1 second. Its Power LED
starts blinking. - Within two minutes, press the Pair button on another powerline adapter for 1 second. Its Power LED starts blinking. When the Powerline LED turns on, the pairing process is complete.
Done! Enjoy your secure powerline network!
Add Another Powerline Adapter
I want to:
Add a new powerline adapter into the existing powerline network to extend my network.
For example, I’ve already set up a powerline network using powerline devices, but the network does not reach everywhere I need it to. I purchased another one to further extend my network.
How can I do that?
- Plug the new powerline adapter into a wall outlet near one of the existing powerline devices.
- Wait for a minute, and check whether the Powerline LED turns on. If it’s on, skip to step 3. If it’s not, continue with step 2 to pair the new powerline adapter into the secured powerline network.
- Press the Pair button on one of the existing powerline devices for 1 second. Its
The power LED starts blinking. - Within two minutes, press the Pair button on the new powerline adapter for 1Â second. Its Power LED starts blinking. When the Powerline LED turns on, the pairing process is complete.
- Press the Pair button on one of the existing powerline devices for 1 second. Its
- Relocate the new powerline adapter to the place where wired internet access is needed.
Done! Enjoy the internet through your extended network!

Can you operate how many powerline adapters?
You can connect up to 64 nodes, depending on the Powerline model you have (to confirm the precise amount, visit the FAQ section for your model).
The TP-Link AV1000’s speed.
The AV1000 was able to achieve speeds of 373Mbps, one of the greatest numbers we’ve seen in many years of testing.
Does the length of a powerline matter?
A signal is weaker the further it has to go. You are normally limited to 328 feet (approximately 100 meters) or 150 feet (45 meters) when using Ethernet or Wi-Fi, respectively. The theoretical range for the majority of powerline adapters is 984 feet (about 300 meters).
The AV1000 has WiFi, right?
Power, powerline, ethernet, and WiFi LED indicators. Up to 1000 feet/300 meters over existing electrical wiring, in range. Compatible with any common Homeplug Av & Av2 powerline adapters.
What is the Powerline adapter’s maximum speed?
both 200 and 500 Mbps The maximum speed of powerline adapters with 10/100 Ethernet ports is 100Mbps.
Powerline adapters—can they be used across homes?
Powerline devices may function between any residences that are served by the same transformer.
How can I tell whether a powerline adaptor will function?
Check to determine if the two plug-in devices are still powered on after turning off the electrical switch. If both are unplugged, the powerline adapter will function on those wall outlets. If both are still on in case 3.4, the switch isn’t the right one.
Describe AV1000.
