Frequently asked questions

What should I do if the power light is not on?

Make sure the wall switch controlling the outlet is in the ON position and verify the outlet is live by plugging in another device; if the problem persists, contact technical support.

How can I fix a HomePlug light that does not turn on?

Ensure that more than one PowerLine device is powered on and that the network password is identical on all devices.
