Appendix 1 Faqs - Tenda PW201A User Manual

1. Q: What is Powerline networking?
A: Powerline technology upgrades your existing electric wiring,
enabling transmission of both network data and electric power in a single
power line at a high speed of up to 200Mbps, low cost and with better
stability while without new wires required.
2. Q: Can a Powerline AP be used alone (without a PLC adapter)?
A: Yes. However, when used alone (without a Powerline adapter), it
functions only as a wireless AP instead of a Powerline wireless AP. Thus, to
utilize the PLC feature, you must have at least one PLC adapter, say, the
Tenda P200. Simply connect the Tenda P200 Powerline adapter to one of
the LAN ports on an Internet-enabled broadband router and Plug the
PW201A into another electrical outlet under the same electric meter as the
Powerline adapter (say, P200); then PCs connected to the PW201A
wirelessly or using Ethernet cables are able access Internet.
3. Q: Can a Powerline AP access Internet immediately after plugged
into a wall outlet?
A: No. There are two ways to enable clients connected to a Powerline
AP, say, PW201A, to access Internet. A. Connect a second PW201A or
another Tenda Powerline device to an Internet-enabled broadband router.
