Welcome
Get ready to set up a Powerline communications
network in your home.
Your new adapter makes it even easier for you to set up a Powerline
network and gives you the freedom to locate your rst Roomplayer
anywhere you want in your home.
It’s really easy to set up. Connect your new Powerline Adapter to your
router using the Ethernet (CAT5) cable supplied then pair your adapter
with your rst Roomplayer. Make sure you follow the instructions on
page 8, which will tell you when to apply power and how to initiate the
pairing process.
Please note that Powerline technology performs best over unltered
mains wiring. If you have any power adapters or ltered sockets on
your electrical circuits, we recommend removing these for optimum
performance.
