Intro duc ing the PLA
1.1 O ve rvie w
This chapter introduces the main applications and features of your Zyxel Powerline Wireless 11ac Dual
Band Extender with 1000Mbps PHY rate, which is called “PLA” in this guide. The following generic icon is
used to represent the PLA.
This User’s Guide helps you understand more about how your PLA works and how to configure your
network. The PLA plugs into an ordinary power outlet to easily extend a cable or DSL broadband
connection or existing Ethernet (LAN) network to any other electrical outlet in any room of a house. The
PLA provides a hybrid powerline transmission and Wi-Fi solution, enabling a larger transmission capacity,
all without the need for any new cabling, since power sockets are available everywhere in your home.
With the PLA you can easily set up a wireless network with both IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac
compatible devices. Multiple HD videos can be streamed over an interference-free 5GHz radio band
across the network with no frame loss.
In this User’s Guide the electrical wiring network is referred to as the “powerline network”. You can
directly plug an electrical device (such as a router or computer) into PLA with an AC power passthrough socket to supply power to the device.
1.2 LEDs
The following sections describes the lights on the PLA.
The following figure is the front panel of the PLA. Use the lights to determine if the PLA is behaving
normally or if there are some problems on your powerline network.

button. See Chapter 2 on page 12 for instructions on using the ENCRYPT feature.
Use the Ho m e Plug screen to manage the PLA. See Section 9.3 on page 52 for instructions on installing
the utility.
1.4 Expa nd Yo ur Ne two rk with the PLA
The PLA plugs into an ordinary power outlet to easily extend a cable or DSL broadband connection or
existing Ethernet (LAN) network to any other electrical outlet in any room of a house, all without the
need for any new cabling. Devices can securely communicate with each other at high data transfer
rates. The PLA uses 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to ensure safe transfer of information.

PLA
Connect your PLA to an Internet gateway such as a modem and plug it into an ordinary power outlet in
your home. Plug a second PLA into another power outlet and connect a computer to the PLA for
Internet access. Your network can be further expanded by plugging additional PLAs into other outlets in
your home and connecting other computers or network devices (for example, a printer) to them.
Refer to your Quick Start Guide for hardware connection information.

Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA
1.5 Se c urity
Since your powerline network may extend outside your premises, it is important to set up security on your
PLA.
1.5.1 Pa sswo rds
You use two types of passwords in the Home Plug AV powerline network. The following table describes
the differences between the passwords.
Table 2 Password Summary
PASSWO RD
DESC RIPTIO N
Network Name
All powerline adapters that follow the HomePlug AV standard are shipped with the
same powerline network name “HomePlugAV”.
DAK (Data Access Key)
Password
In order to manage the powerline adapters on your powerline network you must
enter the adapters’ DAK password in the Home Plug Screen (Section 9.3 on page
52). This password is printed on the powerline adapter itself.
You don’t need to add the password for the powerline adapter directly connected
to the computer running the web configurator (local powerline adapter), you only
have to add the remote powerline adapters’ passwords (those on your circuit, but
not directly connected to your computer).
1.5.2 Se tting Up Se c urity
The ENCRYPT feature automatically sets up security on your powerline network. Use this feature if your
powerline devices have the RESET/ ENC RYPT button.
Alternatively, use the Zyxel Ho m e Plug screen (Section 9.3 on page 52) to set up security on the
PLA.Although the PLA is a “plug-and-play” network expanding solution there are several reasons for
enabling security on the powerline network in your home.
It’s easy and only requires you to change a network name.
It’s a good idea to ensure privacy of your communication. When you use the PLA and other powerline
adapters, the electrical wiring in your home becomes an extension of your Ethernet network. Your
network traffic flows freely within the electrical circuit of your home and is bounded in most cases by a
power meter.
Without security (encryption) your information is accessible to anyone using a powerline adapter on the
same electrical circuit. In some cases, a circuit can be shared by more than one household.
To prevent compromising your network security, you can create a private network. A private network
uses a secret password (Ne two rk Na m e ) to make sure that only permitted powerline adapters can
communicate in your network.
You may need to change the Ne two rk Na m e to create multiple powerline networks. See the next
section for more information on how to set up a multiple network.
PLA5236 User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA
1.6 Multiple Ne two rks
Multiple powerline networks can coexist on a single powerline circuit. You might want to implement
multiple powerline networks in a small office environment where you have two separate Ethernet
networks.
Connect one powerline adapter to a router or switch on the first Ethernet network and assign a Ne two rk
Na m e (for example “Password1”) to this powerline adapter. Add additional powerline adapters to your
network by plugging them into your powerline outlets and assigning them “Password1”. This completes
the configuration of your first powerline network.
Connect another powerline adapter to a router or switch on the second Ethernet network and assign a
different Ne two rk Na m e (for example “Password2”) to this powerline adapter. Again, add additional
powerline adapters and assign them “Password2”.
You now have two private networks on your powerline circuit. Information is not shared between the
two networks as only powerline adapters with the same Ne two rk Na m e can communicate with each
other.
PLA5236 User’s Guide

C HA PTER 2
The RESET/ ENC RYPT Butto n
Use the RESET/ ENC RYPT button to automatically set up a secure powerline connection between your
powerline devices.
2.1 RESET/ ENC RYPT Butto n O ve rvie w
The RESET/ ENC RYPT button allows you to set up a secure powerline connection with other HomePlug AV
compliant powerline devices which also support the ENCRYPT feature. No other powerline setting
changes are required to connect.
You can use the RESET/ ENC RYPT button to:
• set up a new powerline network.
• separate an existing powerline network into multiple networks.
• reset the PLA to the factory defaults.
2.2 Adding De vic e s to a Po we rline Ne two rk
You can connect a number of PLAs on a powerline network, but you can use the RESET/ ENC RYPT button
on only two PLAs at a time.
Place a powerline device close to another powerline device so you have time to set up each one. After
you set up the first powerline device, you have 120 seconds to set up the second powerline device.
Note: Your PLA must be connected to a networking equipment for the RESET/ ENC RYPT button
to work. Refer to Section 1.3 on page 9 for more details.
Follow the steps below to set up your HomePlug AV Network:
PLA5236 User’s Guide

lights should be on while the devices are connecting. Wait for about two minutes while
your powerline devices connect.
If the power ( ) light does not blink when you press RESET/ ENC RYPT, you have probably pressed
the RESET/ ENC RYPT button for too long. Try again, pressing the RESET/ ENC RYPT button for 0.5 to 3
seconds.
If the HomePlug (
) lights on both powerline devices do not light up, the powerline devices
are not connected. Repeat step 1 in this section. If that doesn’t work, see the Troubleshooting in
Section 12.3 on page 65 for suggestions.
To add more powerline devices to your network, use any powerline device (A or B) you have
connected to set up a connection with the powerline devices you want to connect (C and D).
Press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button on both powerline devices (A and C , or B and C ) for 0.5 to 3 seconds to
add powerline device C . This must be done within 2 minutes (120 seconds) of pressing the RESET/
ENC RYPT button on the PLA.
Press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button on both powerline devices (A and D, B and D or C and D) for 0.5 to 3

Wire le ss LAN
7.1 O ve rvie w
This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your PLA. See the appendices for
more detailed information about wireless networks.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Fig ure 17
Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called
wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices (such as the
printer) or with the Internet. Your PLA is the AP.
7.1.1 Po we rline Exte nde d Wire le ss LAN
The PLA is a wireless Powerline Extender (PE) that allows you to extend your original wireless network,
connected to a compatible Powerline Adapter (PA) over a power cable. This is the key for items in
Figure 18 on page 33:
• PE = Powerline Extender (= PLA here)
• PEN = PE wireless Network
PLA5236 User’s Guide
32
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN
• PA = Powerline Adapter
• APN = Your existing wireless router or AP wireless Network
• PL = Powerline connection
Using a PE is desirable when you want to expand your existing wireless network, there is a power
connection to it, and the PE is located beyond the Wi-Fi range of the AP, or there are obstructions, such
as thick walls, impeding Wi-Fi signals between them.
These are some ways to configure the PLA for Wi-Fi access in the PE location.
• Use the default PLA wireless settings (SSID = ZyXEL, no Wi-Fi key). No configuration is necessary, but the
PLA wireless network is open (no Wi-Fi key) and vulnerable.
• Copy the AP settings to the PLA using the WPS button. When using WPS to copy wireless settings, the
PLA4213 must be within 5 meters of the AP. After a successful copy, position them where you want
them in your Powerline network. This allows seamless wireless roaming between APN and PEN
networks but some wireless clients may have problems if they discover duplicate SSIDs. You also won’t
know if your wireless device is connecting to the APN or the PEN.
• Use the web configurator to configure a different SSID and Wi-Fi key on the PLA (SSID-2, Wi-Fi Key-2).
Roaming is not seamless as you need to manually connect to the PEN when the signal from the APN
becomes weak (and vice-versa).
Fig ure 18
Powerline Extended Wireless LAN
7.2 Wha t Yo u C a n Do
• Use the G e ne ra l screen (Section 7.4 on page 35) to turn the wireless connection on or off, enter the
SSID, select the channel, and configure wireless security between the PLA and the wireless clients.
• Use the MAC Filte r screen (Section 7.6 on page 41) to allow or deny wireless stations based on their
MAC addresses from connecting to the PLA.
• Use the Adva nc e d screen (Section 7.7 on page 42) to configure wireless advanced features, such as
set the RTS/CTS Threshold and HT physical mode.
• Use the Q o S screen (Section 7.8 on page 43) to enable Wi-fi MultiMedia Quality of Service
(WMMQoS). This allows the PLA to automatically set priority levels to services, such as e-mail, VoIP,
chat, and so on.
• Use the WPS screen (Section 7.9 on page 44) to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security,
without having to configure security settings manually.
• Use the WPS Sta tio n screen (Section 7.10 on page 45) to add a wireless station using WPS.
PLA5236 User’s Guide
33
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN
• Use the Sc he duling screen (Section 7.11 on page 46) to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on
and off.
7.3 Wha t Yo u Sho uld Kno w
Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency,
to send and receive information.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the
information that is sent in the wireless network.
7.3.1 Wire le ss Se c urity O ve rvie w
The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless
network.
7.3.1.1 SSID
Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the
SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the
default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.
This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the
SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network.
7.3.1.2 MAC Addre ss Filte r
Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is
usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s Guide or other
documentation.
You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not allowed to use
the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the
correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless
network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings.
This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore,
there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized wireless client. Then,
they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.
1.
Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These
kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses.
2.
Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
PLA5236 User’s Guide
34
Chapter 7 Wireless LAN
Enc ryptio n
Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.
Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the
message.
Table 12 Types of Encryption
We a ke st
No Security
Static WEP
WPA-PSK
Stro ng e st
WPA2-PSK
Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless network
supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you do not have a
RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless
clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA. Therefore, you should set up
Sta tic WEP in the wireless network.
Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA- PSK or stronger encryption. WEP
encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to
figure out the original information pretty quickly.
When you select WPA2- PSK in your PLA, you can also select an option (WPA- PSK C o m pa tib le ) to support
WPA as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up
WPA2- PSK and select the WPA- PSK C o m pa tib le option in the PLA.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the
key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key.
7.3.1.3 WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS
allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security
settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the
device itself) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set
up a secure network by themselves.
7.4 G e ne ra l Wire le ss LAN Sc re e n
Use this screen to enable or disable the WLAN, enter the SSID, select the channel and configure wireless
security settings.
Note: If you are configuring the PLA from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you

connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless
settings of your computer to match the PLA’s new settings.

adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.
40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz
setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your

This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor
of a building. The LAN screens can help you configure the manage IP address, and partition your
physical network into logical networks.

The LAN screens can help you manage IP addresses.
8.2 Wha t Yo u C a n Do
• Use the IP screen (Section 8.4 on page 49) to change the IP address for your PLA and DNS server
information.
• Use the IP Alia s screen (Section 8.5 on page 50) to have the PLA apply IP alias to create LAN subnets.

8.3.1 LAN TC P/ IP
The PLA has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that
support DHCP client capability.
8.3.2 IP Alia s
IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The PLA supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the
PLA itself as the gateway for each LAN network.

Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday of November. Each time
zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time. So in the
United States you would select First, Sunda y , No ve m b e r and type 2 in the o 'c lo c k field.
Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of October. All of the
time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1
A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select La st, Sunda y , O c to b e r. The
time you type in the o 'c lo c k field depends on your time zone. In Germany for instance, you
would type 2 because Germany's time zone is one hour ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).

This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter.
12.1 Po we r a nd Lig ht Pro b le m s
The PLA does not turn on. None of the lights turn on.
Disconnect and re-connect the PLA.
Remove the powerline adapter from the outlet. Then connect an electrical device that you know works
into the same power outlet. This checks the status of the power outlet.
If the problem continues, contact the vendor.
The ETHERNET light does not turn on.
Check the hardware connections. See the Quick Start Guide.
Inspect your cables for damage. Contact the vendor to replace any damaged cables.
Check the Ethernet adapter on your computer and make sure it’s enabled and working properly.
If the PLA is connected to an Ethernet switch or router, make sure the device is working correctly, and
that the LAN network is working and configured correctly as well.
The HomePlug light does not turn on.
Make sure that the network name (sometimes called the network password) is the same on all of your
powerline adapters.
Make sure that all your powerline adapters are HomePlug AV compliant. Check the package it came in
or ask your vendor. This PLA can not detect earlier versions of HomePlug powerline adapters such as
HomePlug 1.0 or 1.0.1. (Although they can coexist on the same electrical wiring without interfering with
each other.)
PLA5236 User’s Guide
64
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting
Make sure that the powerline adapters on your network are all on the same electrical wiring. Connect
another powerline adapter into an outlet close to your PLA’s power outlet. They are probably now on
the same electrical wiring. Check the HomePlug (
) light. If it now lights up your powerline adapter
was probably previously on separate electrical wiring. Ask an electrician for more information on the
electrical wiring in your building.
Make sure that you do not have a power meter between powerline adapters. Powerline signals cannot
pass this.
The POWER and HomePlug light blink at the same time.
• You have pressed the RESET/ ENC RYPT button for more than three seconds. Try setting up a
connection again, this time pressing the RESET/ ENC RYPT buttons on both devices for less than three
seconds.
12.2 Po we rline Pro b le m s
The signal on my powerline network is weak.
Your powerline adapters may be connected to electrical surge protectors. Connect them to standard
power outlets.
Your powerline adapters may be located close to large appliances such as refrigerators or airconditioners that cause interference with the powerline signal. Move the adapters further away from
such appliances to reduce interference.
Your powerline adapters may be placed close to electrical devices such as electrical insect-killers which
produce radio waves. These may interfere with the powerline signals. Move the adapters further away
from such electrical devices.
Your wiring may be old and/or low quality or with a long wiring path.
12.3 RESET/ ENC RYPT Butto n Pro b le m s
This section applies only to PLAs with the RESET/ ENC RYPT button.
The HomePlug light is already on, but I haven’t pressed the RESET/ ENC RYPT button yet.
Your device has already connected to another powerline device. Press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button for 5
to 8 seconds to release the connection.
PLA5236 User’s Guide

Chapter 12 Troubleshooting
The POWER light does not blink when I press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button.
• Check the device is on.
• Press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button again, making certain you have pressed the button for 0.5 to 3
seconds.
• The POWER light on some powerline devices do not blink as part of the ENCRYPT process. Check your
powerline device is a PLA.
The POWER light blinks two times quickly then pauses, before repeating.
The ENCRYPT process has failed. Press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button on both devices for 5 to 8 seconds,
then try to reconnect.
The POWER lights on both devices blink when I press the RESET/ ENC RYPT buttons, but the
HomePlug light does not turn on.
• Ensure you have pressed the RESET/ ENC RYPT button on both devices.
• Wait for about a minute while the devices set up a connection.
• If that does not work, try again with both devices connected to a power strip next to each other. If
they now connect, then the devices were not on the same electrical circuit before.
The POWER lights on both devices blink, then many lights blink and the HomePlug light blinks red.
Do not worry, the connection process is proceeding normally.
The POWER lights on both devices finished blinking, but only one device’s HomePlug light is on.
One device may have connected to a third powerline device. To check device A is connected to
device B and not another device, disconnect device B from its power source. Device A’s HomePlug
) light will turn off if the connection is with Device B. Press the RESET/ ENC RYPT button on both devices
for 5 to 8 seconds, then try to reconnect, pressing the RESET/ ENC RYPT button for 0.5 to 3 seconds on both
devices.
I pressed the RESET/ENCRYPT button for 5 to 8 seconds, but the HomePlug light is still on.
