3. Test the outlet by plugging in another electrical device such as a lamp or radio.
4. Plug the PL9665-12D into the working electrical outlet.
5. Check to see if the lights work
6. If the above does not work, the device might be defective.
7. Please contact Technical Support for instructions on returning the device for repair or
replacement.
Symptom: Some of my devices cannot connect to the Internet or other computers in my
network. The lights seem to be functionally normally.
Solution #1:
1. Re-Initialize the PL9665-12D device.
2. Unplug the PL9665-12D from the electrical outlet.
3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the device
4. Plug the PL9665-12D back into the electrical outlet.
5. Reconnect the Ethernet cable.
Solution #2:
The Network Encryption Key (NEK) may not be correct on your devices.
Page 24
PlugLink HD AV Y-Cable Adapter
1. Reset the Network Encryption Key using the Factory Reset button located on the
bottom of your PL9665-12D AV device. This will reset the NEK back to the default
of HomePlug.
2. Test your connection again. If this still does not work, perform the factory reset on all
of your other PL9665-12D AV devices in your network.
