9Ch 2. Hardware Installation Once you check everything from the package, you can start to install the device. All wireless devices which want to connect this AP wirelessly need to search and connect the SSID of this device: PWQ-5101 (factory default is no wireless security setting) Please see the following application diagrams for different application connections of this device. Application 1 – Link to remote DSL via Powerline Via Powerline technology, the Powerline Wireless N Extender can access DSL modem at other floors for internet accesses. Note that this needs another Powerline to Ethernet Bridge device at other floor, so that connection between Powerline to Ethernet Bridge and Powerline to Ethernet Bridge can be done through the embedded PLC technology.
10Application 2 – wireless AP + Ethernet switch The Powerline Wireless N Extender can be a central 802.11n Access point and Ethernet switch hub to link all WLAN devices and Ethernet devices. Application 3– multiple floor home networking When WLAN signal is not good to penetrate concrete floors, use Powerline technology afforded by the Powerline Wireless N Extender to extend home networking range to upper (other) floors. While on the same floor, the WLAN function can be used for IP devices or PC/NB to access internet. Please see the diagram below and please note that this needs Powerline to Ethernet Bridge devices for users at the other floor to access network resources via the Powerline communication.

12Application 4– Powerline Ethernet switch By pushing the WLAN ON/OFF button, the wireless function of this device can be turned ON or OFF. In this case, HomePlug AV Wireless N Extender acts as Powerline to Ethernet switch, which, when used together with a remote Powerline Ethernet Bridge, enables two remote Ethernet devices (ex. PC, Notebook, or VIOP) on different floors or locations at home to communicate via the embedded Powerline technology. Application 5 – AP client adapter This device can act as wireless client adapter for a PC host (see application diagram below). To activate this function, visit the operation mode web page of the device and enable this mode through a web browser on your PC. Please see later chapters for detail description of this procedure.
13Fast Encryption by Buttons The factory default wireless setting of this machine is no encryption and default powerline communication encryption is public encryption, HomePlugAV. Using the buttons on the machine, this section describes quick wireless encryption set up using WPS button and quick encryption set up in a PLC network group using Group button. Setting Wireless encryption by WPS button This button can be pressed for WPS PBC authentication. First, login the web configuration to setup the wireless encryption to be WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, and then enable the WPS Config as well. Now press the WPS button on this device and then press WPS button on the WLAN station/client card to start WPS process. It is also working if pressing WPS button on the WLAN station card first and then this device. The WPS process will be started and connected after a few seconds. For those WLAN station card without physical WPS button, the software WPS button should be found in its utility software for this function. Create Private encrypted PLC network group This product is a HomePlug AV powerline device. Each powerline device has predefined attributes of Powerline network name. Multiple Powerline devices with same network names can communicate to one another, thus belonging to a same PLC network group. Devices with different network name won’t communicate. Max number of devices in a PLC network group is defined in the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual. Any Homeplug-AV compliant PLC device newly from factories, including this device, has its default network name of HomePlugAV, and can communicate with other brands of new Homeplug-AV compliant devices, thus belongs to the public network. Pushing the GROUP button of the device will change its network name. This way, users can create one or multiple private PLC network groups with the button, without complicated setup software involved, thus protect their data been transmitted over the powerline. Pressing the RESET button of a power-active powerline device will reset the network name back to its factory default. By pushing GROUP button for more than 10 seconds, a random network name (different from HomePlugAV) for the device will be generated. This device can then ask other devices
14to join its PLC network to form private network group. Any other devices, device B, which want to join this device’s (device A) PLC network group need to follow steps below: (NOTE: it is more convenient to bring devices, which are to be configured into same logical network group, side by side during this procedure. After network group is set, the devices can be deployed anywhere at home) Step 1. (Clear group attribute) Firstly clear the original network group of device B by pressing its GROUP button more than 10 seconds until all LED lights simultaneously turns off and on once. At this moment, its network group name has been changed to a random name and ready to be assigned another network name. At this moment, this device also can be used as a seed device so other PLC devices can join it to form a private network group. Step 2. (Join) Press GROUP Button of device A and device B for 2 to 3 sec (make sure POWER LED starts blinking). The device (device B) which has cleared its group attribute will join to the device (device A) which hasn’t. It doesn’t matter which device’s button is pushed earlier than the other, but please push the second device’s Group button within two minutes after pushing first device’s Group button. This way, Powerline device B joins same encrypted network as device A. Users can join device C to device A’s logical network with same procedure, thus make device A, B, and C all in the same encrypted network group. Remove a device from a network Group For example, device A and device B are in the same logical network group, if uses want to remove device A from this logical network group, just follow the procedure in Step 1 by pressing GROUP button of device A for 10 seconds. This makes device A not able to communicate with device B. Make two public network devices private If users want to make two new public devices (network name HomePlugAV) become private, please carry out Step 1 on both devices, then do step 2 on these two devices. Finally, a private random network name is generated for these two devices. Partition four devices into two network Groups
15For example, A, B, C, and D four devices, originally are in same network group. Please carry out step 1 on device A and B, to remove them from this network group. Then carry out step 2 on A and B to form a new network group.
