A G.hn Powerline Network can consist of a minimum of 2 and up to 16 devices total.
**The PG-9172 can be replaced by another G.hn Powerline Adapter.
NOTE: The following steps show how to create or add onto a G.hn Powerline Network using
a PG-9172AC.
(A minimum of two G.hn Powerline Adapters are required to create a proper connection.)
 If this is the first time you are setting up a G.hn Powerline Network please continue to
Section B.
 If you already have an established G.hn Powerline Network and are adding an additional
adapter, please skip to Section C.
(B) Creating a New G.hn Network
1.
Plug a PG-9172* unit into the power outlet closest to the Network Device (Modem,
Router). Do not plug the adapter into a power strip or surge protector, as network
performance could degrade significantly.
*NOTE: It is suggested that you use the PG-9172 as the primary connection to the
Network Device, however, the PG-9172 can be replaced by another G.hn
Powerline Adapter.
PG-9172
2.
Connect the PG-9172 to a Network Device with an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable. (Wait 10
to light up GREEN, which indicates a
seconds for the Network Indicator
good connection. A flashing GREEN light indicates that the device has a
good connection and is also sending data).

3.
Plug the PG-9172AC into the power outlet closest to the location you want to
add wireless and/or near an Internet-Enabled Device you would like to
directly connect to the adapter. The Power Indicator
4.
should light up.
Optionally, to add an Internet- Enabled Device, directly connect the PG-9172AC to
the Internet-Enabled Device with an Ethernet cable. (The Network Indicator

(D) Security Setup
NOTE: G.hn Adapters will automatically “pair” in “non-secure” mode. It is highly
recommended to follow Step 5 to create a secure connection.
5.
Press the “Config” Button of a PG-9172 in the existing network for 2 seconds. You
will see the Security Indicator start flashing GREEN. Within two minutes,
press the “PLC Sync” Button on the PG-9172AC for 2 seconds until you see the PLC
start flashing GREEN. (When the adapters are successfully
Indicator
paired with a strong connection the PG-9172’s Security Indicator
and Connection Indicator
will be solid GREEN and the PG-9172AC’s PLC
Indicator
6.
will be solid GREEN.)
Repeat Steps 3 to 5 to add additional adapters/devices.
(E) Connecting Your WiFi Devices to the New PG-9172AC
Access Point
7.
For some devices (E.g. laptops, cameras, set-top-boxes, etc.)
wireless connectivity can be done via WPS (Wireless Protected Setup). WPS allows
you to simply connect devices to the new Access Point without entering a
username/password manually. To do this, please follow the instructions in
Section F below.
8.
You have created a new Internet Access Point and it is now active and ready to use!
To connect your WiFi devices to your new PG-9172AC WiFi Access Point, select the
PG-9172AC Access Point using your WiFi device’s standard network list. The
Network Name (SSID) and Password (WiFi Key) can be found on the bottom of the
PG-9172AC.
9.
Go to Section G.
(F) Setup of Wireless Devices via WPS
(WiFi Protected Setup)
10.
Press and hold the “WPS” Button for more than 2 seconds on the PG-9172AC to
activate its WPS. The PG-9172AC’s WiFi Indicators
indicate a WPS connection is in progress.
11.
should flash to
Within two minutes, press the “WPS” Button (often the WPS/Reset Button) on your
remote Internet-Enabled Devices to activate WPS.
The devices will establish a secure connection.

Troubleshooting
The following information should help you diagnose basic setup or installation problems.

1) POWER Indicator is OFF: First try pressing the
“Power” Button on the rear panel of the device. If the
Power Indicator is still off, please make sure that your
power socket is working properly (perhaps by testing with
another device). Then plug in your PG-9172AC again
and push the “Power” Button on the rear panel of the
device.
2) LAN Indicator is OFF: The LAN Indicator is off when
there is no directly connected device into the G.hn
Adapters’ Ethernet Port. If there is a
device connected and if the LAN Indicator is off, check
that the Ethernet port of the Powerline Adapter
is connected firmly to the Ethernet port of the other
device. Also, you can check the condition of the
Ethernet cable by using another Ethernet cable to test if
the indicator turns on.
3) WiFi Indicators are OFF: To turn on both indicators
on the
(enable WiFi) you can press the “WiFi” Button
front of the device. You can also login to the G-9172AC
Web and enable WiFi (5G only). See section 5.5 of the
10
User Manual for details.
4) PLC Indicator is OFF: This indicator shows that the adapter is paired to the G.hn
Network. If this indicator is off, plug both Powerline Adapters that you’re attempting to pair
into power outlets that are located within the same room. All of the indicators of the device
should blink (approx. 10 seconds), and the PLC Indicator should light up. If the PLC
Indicator does not light up, it may indicate the existing G.hn network is secure and you
have to pair the PG-9172AC to it in “secure mode.” To do so, press the "PLC Sync" Button on
the PG-9172AC for 2 seconds. Within 2 minutes, press the “Config" Button on the PG-9172
for 2 seconds (Holding for more than 4 seconds will clear the security key and require a
re-pairing). The PLC Indicator will then light up GREEN. Afterwards, you can plug the units
back into their original location.
5) PLC Indicator is Blinking RED: This indicator shows that the adapter is paired to the
G.hn Network. If the PLC Indicator is blinking RED, then the adapter is
paired in “non-secure” mode to the G.hn Network. It is optional to pair the device in “secure
mode.” To pair the device in “secure mode," press the "PLC Sync" Button on the PG-9172AC
and the “Config" Button on the PG-9172 for 2 seconds. The PLC Indicator will then light
up GREEN.
* If you have tried all of the above and are still experiencing problems, you can reset all
devices to factory default by pushing the “Reset” Button on the PG-9172AC for more than 10
seconds AND the “Config” Button on the PG-9172 for 10 seconds.

5.1 Connect to power line access point by web
browser
PG-9172AC supports two kinds of management IP.
(1) DHCP client, which gets a dynamic IP address from the
Modem/Broadband Router/Home Gateway that it is connected to by default.
(2) Static IP, 192.168.0.5 by default, which can be configurable in the web UI.
Before you can connect to the power line access point and start configuration procedures,
your computer must be able to get an IP address automatically (dynamic IP address).
PG-9172AC gets a dynamic IP address from Modem/Broadband Router/Home Gateway that
it is connected to by default. However, the current IP info of PG-9172AC would be
displayed at the Modem/Broadcom Router/Home Gateway.
Also, the static IP of PG-9172AC can be accessed by the default static IP address of
192.168.0.5, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Change your PC’s static IP address to
291.68.0.100, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for accessing web UI management.
14
5.2 Connecting to Web Management Interface
All functions and settings for the Wi-Fi AP of PG-9172AC must be configured via the
web management interface. Please start your web browser, and input ‘192.168.0.5’in the
address bar, then press the ‘Enter’ key. The following will be displayed:
Please input user name and password in their respective fields, default user name is ‘root,
and default password is ‘12345, then press the Login button, to view the web management
interface of this access point.
NOTE: If you can’t see the web management interface, and you’re
being prompted to input user name and password again, it means you
didn’t input username and password correctly.

WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) technology, can improve the
performance of certain network applications, like
audio/video streaming, network telephony (VoIP),
and others. When you enable the WMM function, the
power line access point will define the priority of different
kinds of data, to give higher priority to applications which
require an instant response. Therefore you can improve
the performance of such network applications.

The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP. However, the
general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS). Check your
OS support documentation for further details.
STEP 1: From the Network Connections window, open Local Area Connection (You may also
access this screen by double-clicking the Local Area Connection icon on your
taskbar). Click the Properties button.
STEP 2: Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
