Expanding a Home Network
What is a network?
A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A
home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet
access, which requires a router.
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a
printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,
additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,
game consoles, and Internet cameras.
ModemConnects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
RouterConnects multiple devices to the Internet.
SwitchConnect several wired network devices to your home network. Your
router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired
network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an
additional switch to add more wired connections.
How to expand a home network
Wireless Access Points add or extend wireless connectivity to an existing network.
Integrated Powerline technology allows you to further extend your network using your
existing electrical system in your home using multiple powerline adapters.

Wireless Networking and Security
How to choose the type of security for your wireless network
Setting up wireless security is very important. Leaving your wireless network open and
unsecure could expose your entire network and personal files to outsiders. TRENDnet
recommends reading through this entire section and setting up wireless security on your
new access point.
There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each
having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network
taking into consideration compatibility, performance, as well as the security strength
along with using older wireless networking hardware (also called legacy hardware).
It is strongly recommended to enable wireless security to prevent unwanted users from
accessing your network and network resources (personal documents, media, etc.).
In general, it is recommended that you choose the security type with the highest
strength and performance supported by the wireless computers and devices in your
network. Please review the security types to determine which one you should use for
your network.
Wireless Encryption Types
WEP: Legacy encryption method supported by older 802.11b/g hardware. This is
the oldest and least secure type of wireless encryption. It is generally not
recommended to use this encryption standard, however if you have old 802.11 b or
802.11g wireless adapters or computers with old embedded wireless cards(wireless
clients), you may have to set your access point to WEP to allow the old adapters to
connect to the access point.
Note: This encryption standard will limit connection speeds to 54Mbps.
WPA: This encryption is significantly more robust than the WEP technology. Much
of the older 802.11g hardware was been upgraded (with firmware/driver upgrades)
to support this encryption standard. Total wireless speeds under this encryption
type however are limited to 54Mbps.
WPA-Auto: This setting provides the access point with the ability to detect
wireless devices using either WPA or WPA2 encryption. Your wireless network will
automatically change the encryption setting based on the first wireless device
connected. For example, if the first wireless client that connects to your wireless
network uses WPA encryption your wireless network will use WPA encryption. Only
when all wireless clients disconnect to the network and a wireless client with WPA2
encryption connects your wireless network will then change to WPA2 encryption.
Note: WPA2 encryption supports 802.11n speeds and WPA encryption will limit
your connection speeds to 54Mbps
WPA2: This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar to WPA
encryption but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the highest
connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your access point to this
encryption standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not
support WPA2 encryption, then set your access point to either WPA or WPA-Auto
encryption.
Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless
appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported. Below is brief
comparison chart of the wireless security types and the recommended
configuration depending on which type you choose for your wireless network.

Steps to improve wireless connectivity
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce
the range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that
will minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
a. For the widest coverage area, install your access point near the center
of your home, and near the ceiling, if possible.
b. Avoid placing the access point on or near metal objects (such as file
cabinets and metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or
mirrors), and masonry walls.
c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic
objects), so the fewer obstructions between the access point and the
wireless device, the better.
d. Place the access point in a location away from other electronics,
motors, and fluorescent lighting.
e. Many environmental variables can affect the access point’s
performance, so if your wireless signal is weak, place the access point
in several locations and test the signal strength to determine the ideal
position.
2. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor
environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes
through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid
wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal.
3. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use
the wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna
orientation for your wireless devices.
4. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also
impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that
generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.
If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)
from older wireless standards to 802.11n or 802.11ac. If a wirelessly networked device
uses an older standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices,
installing additional access points or wireless extenders.

You already have a router already installed.
You already have Internet access through your existing network.
An Ethernet port (also called LAN port) is available on your router.
Verify that you have at least two Powerline adapters. You will need at least
two Powerline adapters to create a Powerline network.
Note: The TPL-410AP package only includes a single Powerline adapter. The
TPL-410APK package includes TPL-406E and TPL-410AP to create your
Powerline network. Please ensure that your other Powerline adapter is
HomePlug® AV or IEEE 1901 compliant (e.g. TRENDnet models TPL-303E, TPL-
304E, TPL-305E, TPL-306E, TPL-307E, TPL-308E, TPL-310AP, TPL-401E, TPL-402E,
TPL-405E,TPL-4052E, TPL-406E, TPL-407E, TPL-408E, TPL-420E, or another TPL-
410AP.)
2. Plan the location of where you will install your Powerline adapters.
Avoid plugging the adapters into power strips, extension cords, or surge
protectors as this may prevent the adapter from functioning correctly or
degrade performance.
Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are controlled by a
light switch to prevent the Powerline adapter from being turned off
accidentally.
Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are located near
appliances that consume a lot of power (e.g. refrigerators, washers, dryers) as
this may degrade performance.
Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room where the router
is installed and also near the router.
Make sure there is an available wall power outlet in the room where you want
to extend network connectivity.
Connect a Powerline adapter to your router
1. Plug the Powerline adapter into an available wall power outlet near your router.
Note: This will allow devices connected to your Powerline network to access the Internet
and other devices connected to your network.
2. Connect the included Ethernet cable (also called network cable) from the Ethernet
port (also called network port) of your Powerline adapter to an available Ethernet port
(also called LAN port) on your router.
3. Once the Powerline adapter is installed and connected to your router, verify that the
Power (PWR) LED is on or blinking and the Ethernet Connection (ETH) LED (or if
multiple ports LEDs 1,2,3,etc.) is on or blinking.

Add adapters to your network
Once you have installed and connected the first Powerline adapter to your router, you
can easily extend your network to other rooms by adding additional Powerline adapters.
To extend your network using an additional Powerline adapter:
1. First, make sure the first Powerline adapter is installed and connected to your router.
Note: This will allow devices connected to your Powerline network to access the Internet
and other devices connected to your network. See “Connect a Powerline adapter to your
router” on page 29
.
2. Plug the additional Powerline adapter into an available wall power outlet in another
room near a computer or network device (e.g. game consoles, network-enabled TVs,
network attached storage, network media server/players, etc.) that you would like to
connect to your network.
3. Connect the included Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your Powerline
adapter to the to the Ethernet port of your computers or network devices.
4. After the additional Powerline adapter is connected and installed to your computer or
network device, wait for the Powerline (PL) LED to turn on. After the Powerline (PL) LED
turns on, verify that the Power (PWR) LED is on, the Powerline (PL) LED is on or
blinking, and the Ethernet Connection (ETH) LED (or if multiple ports LEDs 1,2,3,etc.) is
on or blinking.
Note: To verify that your Powerline adapters are connected successfully to your network,
you can check if the computer(s) or network device(s) can access the Internet through
your Powerline network.

Securing your Powerline Network
Powerline networks consist of two or more Powerline devices connected together using
the same encryption key. TRENDnet Powerline adapters automatically connect to each
other over a secure encrypted signal and share the same encryption key (Default
encryption key: HomePlugAV).
In order for your Powerline devices to connect to the same Powerline network, the
same encryption key must be assigned to all Powerline devices in that network.
Powerline devices that are not assigned the same encryption key will not be able to
connect to the Powerline network.
For additional security, TRENDnet recommends changing adapter default encryption key
to prevent a neighbor with a Powerline adapter and the same default encryption key
from gaining access to your network.
Note: After the default encryption key has been changed and the Powerline adapters
have been connected using a new encryption key, the Powerline adapters will retain
their security settings when they are unplugged and moved to a new location. No
additional reconfiguration of the Powerline adapters is needed after the default
encryption has been changed.
There are two methods to change the default encryption key:
Use the physical Sync button on your Powerline adapter to generate a random
encryption key. See “Using the Sync Button” on page 31
.
****Recommended method****
OR
Create a customized encryption key for your Powerline network using the
included Powerline Utility. See “Using the Powerline Utility” on page 35
.
*****If users first use the Sync button method, the adapters will need to be
reset to factory defaults in order to change setting using the Powerline
Utility****
Using the Sync button
Change your default encryption key using the Sync button
The physical Sync button on the Powerline adapter provides an easy method of
changing the default encryption key. The Sync button generates a random encryption
key for your Powerline network. To create a customized encryption key, see “Using the
Powerline Utility” on page 35
.
Note: The default encryption key assigned to TRENDnet Powerline adapters is
HomePlugAV. Before changing the default encryption, please ensure that your
Powerline adapters are already installed and connected using the default encryption key.
See “Installing your Powerline Adapters” on page 29
.
Important Note: When using the Sync Button to change the default encryption key, it is
highly recommended to plug the adapters into nearby outlets first and follow the Sync
button procedure before installing the adapters in the desired locations.

If you have changed the default encryption key assigned to your adapters, additional adapters will not automatically connect to your Powerline network after they are plugged into a wall
power outlet. For any additional adapters, you will need to use the Sync button to connect any additional adapters to use the same encryption key of your existing Powerline network.
Use the procedure (Adapter C) below to connect additional adapters. Repeat the procedure (Adapter C) below for each additional adapter you add to your network.
The Sync button procedure below applies to the following TRENDnet models: TPL-303E/304E/308E/4052E/406E/407E/410AP/408E/420E
Note: The product images in the diagram below may not accurately illustrate your exact Powerline model. When pushing the Sync button, either the PWR or PL LED may blink to indicate
that the Sync process has been activated.

Using the Powerline Utility
The Powerline Utility allows you to do the following:
Create a customized encryption key for your Powerline network and apply it to
multiple Powerline adapters at the same time.
View the Powerline adapters connected to your network (using the MAC
address) and the approximate connection quality and speed of each Powerline
adapter.
View and upgrade Powerline adapter firmware.
Note: Link speed displayed in the utility of your Powerline adapters to another
through your electrical system is estimated. Actual link speed may vary.
Before installing and using the utility, please ensure the following:
Write down the Device Password (DPW) (16-digit characters A-Z only) and
MAC Address (12-digit characters a-f, A-F, 0-9) of each Powerline adapter as
this will be required to change the encryption key for multiple Powerline
adapters. See “Product Hardware Features” on page 2
.
Make sure your computer in which you are installing the utility is connected to
your network and your Powerline adapters are also connected to your network.
If you have changed your encryption key using the Sync button and you are
creating a customized encryption key, it is required to reset all Powerline
devices to factory defaults using the physical Reset button on your Powerline
adapter first before using the utility. See “Product Hardware Features” on
page
2.
Please ensure that your Powerline adapters are already installed and connected
and the Ethernet port on each adapter is connected to a device powered on.
