Add an Adapter to an Existing PowerLINE Network

You can add additional adapters to an existing PowerLINE network.
To add an adapter to a PowerLINE network:
1. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet where you want to add Internet access.
2. (Optional) Use the Ethernet cable that came with your adapter to connect the adapter to an Ethernet
port on a computer, game console, Blu-ray player, or other peripheral device.
The PowerLINE devices attempt to detect each other and form a PowerLINE network.
3. If you used a private encryption key, press the Security button on one of the adapters that is already
a part of the network for two seconds, and then press the Security button on the new adapter for two
seconds.
Both buttons must be pressed within two minutes.

WARNING:
Do not press the Security button on the PowerLINE adapter until installation
is complete and the adapters are communicating with each other (indicated
by the blinking Power LED). Pressing this button too soon can temporarily
disable PowerLINE communication. If this occurs, use the Factory Reset button
to return the PowerLINE adapter to its factory default settings.
Note The Security button does not work in power saving mode.
4. Wait for the PowerLINE network to recognize each PowerLINE device.
This process could take as little as 5 seconds or up to 80 seconds.
When the Power LED stops blinking, the process is complete. If the Pick A Plug LEDs are green or
amber, the devices are successfully connected to the PowerLINE network. A red Pick A Plug LED
