PowerLine Installation Considerations

Plan the location of your PowerLine devices:
1. Connect PowerLine devices into electrical outlets that are not controlled by a wall switch. This will help you to avoid
accidentally turning off power to the device.
2. Do not connect your PowerLine devices to extension cords, surge protectors, or
power strips. Doing this might prevent your devices from working correctly, or may
reduce network performance.
3. Avoid plugging your PowerLine devices into electrical outlets that are located near
appliances that use a lot of power, such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Doing
this could prevent the adapter from working correctly, or may negatively impact
network performance.
4. Verify that your PowerLine devices are electrically rated to operate with the power
available in your location.
5. Be sure to plug the power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets in order to help prevent against electrical
shock.
