Powerline Connections: Powerline LED color indicates the strength and quality of the

Powerline connection through the electrical system. The following factors may affect

the Powerline network’s connection quality:

Ground Wire - Adapters should use all 3 wire sockets to boost up the Powerline

communication speed to gigabit.

Noise –Generated by appliances which use your electrical system (e.g.

Microwaves, ovens, hair dryer, irons, dishwashers, etc.). The quality of your

household electrical wiring may also cause additional noise on your electrical

system.

Distance –Long lengths of electrical wiring through your electrical system

between connected Powerline adapters.

Expanding a Powerline Network

What is a network?

A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A

home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet

access, which requires a router.

A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a

printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,

additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,

game consoles, and Internet cameras.

Modem –Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service

Provider).

Router –Connects multiple devices to the Internet.

Switch –Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your

router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired

network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an

additional switch to add more wired connections.

How to expand a home network

Wireless Access Points add or extend wireless connectivity to an existing network.

Integrated Powerline technology allows you to further extend your network using your

existing electrical system in your home using multiple powerline adapters.

TPL-331EP / TPL-331EP2K

Basic Installation

Note: It is recommended to plug the adapters into nearby outlets before installing the devices to the desired locations.

Note: If you are connecting the adapters to a third-party powerline device other than TRENDnet and encounter issues, please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for the

appropriate sync button procedure.

Note: The sync button procedure steps below demonstrate using TRENDnet powerline model TPL-331EP, but the same procedure applies to TRENDnet powerline models TPL-406E / TPL-

407E / TPL-420E / TPL-421E / TPL-422E / TPL-423E/ TPL-331EP.

Installing your Powerline Adapters

Powerline Security

All out-of-the-box TRENDnet HomePlugAV Powerline adapters can be connected to each

other without further configuration. To add additional network security to your

network, you can change your Powerline network name away from the factory default.

With a customized private network name, no one can connect to your Powerline

network with an out-of-the-box HomePlugAV adapter.

TRENDnet HomePlugAV certified Powerline adapters have the same default network

name “HomePlugAV”. TRENDnet recommends that you change the Powerline network

name away from the factory default to increase network security. Once configured, the

Powerline network name will be saved on device. You can freely unplug the adapter and

moved to the other location within its operating range. If a mistake is made in the

settings, the adapter can be reset to the factory default settings by pressing the Reset

button for 1 second.

If you want to use the default network name for easy connection, skip the

synchronization steps and go directly to Connect a Powerline adapter to your router on

page 6.

Scramble your Network Name Away from the Factory Default

1. Use the physical Sync button on your Powerline adapter to generate a random private

network name.

Before you Install

1. Before you proceed with the installation, verify the following:

You already have a router already installed.

You already have Internet access through your existing network.

An Ethernet port (also called LAN port) is available on your router.

Verify that you have at least two Powerline adapters. You will need at least

two Powerline adapters to create a Powerline network.



2. Plan the location of where you will install your Powerline adapters.

Avoid plugging the adapters into power strips, extension cords, or surge

protectors as this may prevent the adapter from functioning correctly or

degrade performance.

Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are controlled by a

light switch to prevent the Powerline adapter from being turned off

accidentally.

Avoid plugging the adapters into wall power outlets that are located near

appliances that consume a lot of power (e.g. refrigerators, washers, dryers) as

this may degrade performance.

Make sure there are available wall power outlets in the room where the router

is installed and the room where you want to extend network connectivity.

For AV2 Powerline adapters, make sure your electric network has 3 wires

properly installed.

TPL-331EP / TPL-331EP2K

Connect a Powerline adapter to your router

1. Plug the Powerline adapter into an available wall power outlet near your router.

Note: This will allow devices connected to your Powerline network to access the Internet

and other devices connected to your network.

2. Connect the included Ethernet cable (also called network cable) from the Ethernet

port (also called network port) of your Powerline adapter to an available Ethernet port

(also called LAN port) on your router.

3. Once the Powerline adapter is installed and connected to your router, verify that the

Power LED is on or blinking and the Ethernet LED is on or blinking.

Add adapters to your network

Once you have installed and connected the first Powerline adapter to your router, you

can easily extend your network to other rooms by adding additional Powerline adapters.

TPL-331EP is best suited as an added adapter because it’s Ethernet port can be used to

power PoE+ devices.

To extend your network using an additional Powerline adapter:

1. First, make sure the first Powerline adapter is installed and connected to your router.

Note: This will allow devices connected to your Powerline network to access the Internet

and other devices connected to your network.

2. Plug the additional Powerline adapter into an available wall power outlet in another

room near a computer or network device (e.g. game consoles, network-enabled TVs,

network attached storage, network media server/players, etc.) that you would like to

connect to your network.

3. Connect the included Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your Powerline

adapter to the to the Ethernet port of your computers or network devices.

4. After the additional Powerline adapter is connected and installed to your computer or

network device, wait for the POWERLINE LED to turn on. After the POWERLINE LED

turns on, verify that the Power LED is on, the POWERLINE LED is on or blinking, and the

Ethernet LED is on or blinking.

Note: To verify that your Powerline adapters are connected successfully to your network,

you can check if the computer(s) or network device(s) can access the Internet through

your Powerline network.

To install additional Powerline adapters in other rooms, repeat the steps above for

each adapter.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

TPL-331EP / TPL-331EP2K

Connect a PoE+ Device

TPL-331EP is best suited as an added adapter because its Ethernet port can be used to

power PoE+ devices. After connecting a powerline adapter to your router and syncing

with TPL-331EP, simply use TPL-331EP’s Ethernet port to provide up to 30W of power to

PoE+ devices.

Securing your Powerline Network

Powerline networks consist of two or more Powerline devices connected together using

the same encryption key. TRENDnet Powerline adapters automatically connect to each

other over a secure encrypted signal and share the same encryption key (Default

encryption key: HomePlugAV).

In order for your Powerline devices to connect to the same Powerline network, the

same encryption key must be assigned to all Powerline devices in that network.

Powerline devices that are not assigned the same encryption key will not be able to

connect to the Powerline network.

For additional security, TRENDnet recommends changing adapter default encryption key

to prevent a neighbor with a Powerline adapter and the same default encryption key

from gaining access to your network.

Note: After the default encryption key has been changed and the Powerline adapters

have been connected using a new encryption key, the Powerline adapters will retain

their security settings when they are unplugged and moved to a new location. No

additional reconfiguration of the Powerline adapters is needed after the default

encryption has been changed.

To change the default encryption key:

Use the physical Sync/Link button on your Powerline adapter to generate a

random encryption key.

****Recommended method****

Scramble your Network Name and Encryption

TRENDnet adapters auto-connect out of the box over a pre-encrypted Powerline signal.

The following optional steps are recommended to secure your powerline network.

1. Make sure your TPL-331EPis powered on and not in sleep mode.

2. The physical Sync button on the Powerline adapter provides an easy way to change

the network name. Push and hold the Sync button for 15 seconds. All LEDs will turned

off and then turned on again. This will generate a new random network name for your

Powerline adapter.

3. Push the Sync button on each adapter within the powerline network for 3 seconds to

re-sync to the new network name and encryption. The POWERLINE LEDs will turn solid

when devices have successfully reconnected.
