4. 설정 및 설치

The Comtrend PG-9172PT-KIT is designed for easy plug-and-play setup. Follow these steps to establish your powerline network:

1. 첫 번째 어댑터 연결: Plug one PG-9172PT adapter directly into a wall electrical outlet near your internet router. Avoid using surge protectors or power strips, as they can interfere with powerline performance.
2. 라우터에 연결: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on this adapter to an available LAN port on your internet router.
3. 두 번째 어댑터 연결: Plug the second PG-9172PT adapter directly into a wall electrical outlet in the room where you need network access. Again, avoid surge protectors or power strips.
4. 장치에 연결: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on this second adapter to your computer, smart TV, gaming console, or other network-enabled device.
5. 연결 확인: Wait a few moments for the adapters to establish a connection. The Powerline LED on both adapters should turn solid, indicating a successful connection. The Ethernet LED should also light up when connected to a device.
6. Secure Network (Optional): To enhance security, press the Security/Reset button on one adapter for 1-2 seconds, then within two minutes, press the Security/Reset button on the other adapter for 1-2 seconds. The Powerline LEDs will flash during this process and then turn solid when a secure connection is established.

Note: Performance may vary based on home wiring and electrical conditions. For optimal performance, plug adapters directly into wall outlets.

5. 사용 설명서

Once installed, the Comtrend G.hn Powerline Ethernet Adapters operate automatically. They extend your network by transmitting data over your home's electrical wiring. Any device connected via Ethernet to an adapter will have network access.

• G.hn Technology: This technology optimizes bandwidth efficiency, which can improve video quality and reduce lag for online activities.
• Pass-Through Outlet: The integrated pass-through outlet allows you to continue using the electrical socket for other devices without compromising the powerline connection.

6. 유지관리

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Comtrend Powerline Ethernet Adapters, consider the following:

• 어댑터를 깨끗하고 먼지가 없는 상태로 유지하세요. 청소 시에는 부드럽고 마른 천을 사용하세요.
• Avoid placing the adapters in direct sunlight or in areas with high humidity or extreme temperatures.
• Do not block the ventilation holes on the adapters.
• Always plug the adapters directly into a wall outlet. Avoid power strips, extension cords, or surge protectors, as these can degrade performance.

7. 문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your Comtrend Powerline Ethernet Adapters, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Powerline Connection (Powerline LED Off/Flashing):
  • Ensure both adapters are plugged directly into wall outlets and powered on.
  • Try plugging the adapters into different outlets to rule out issues with a specific electrical circuit.
  • Avoid plugging adapters into surge protectors, power strips, or extension cords.
  • Ensure the electrical wiring in your home is suitable for powerline communication. Performance can be affected by older or complex wiring.
• No Internet Access on Connected Device:
  • Verify that the Powerline LED is solid on both adapters.
  • Check the Ethernet cable connection between the adapter and your device, and between the first adapter and your router.
  • 라우터가 인터넷에 연결되어 있는지 확인하십시오.
  • Restart your router and both powerline adapters.
• 느린 연결 속도:
  • Performance is highly dependent on electrical wiring conditions. Try moving adapters to outlets on the same electrical circuit if possible.
  • Ensure no high-power electrical appliances (e.g., washing machines, refrigerators) are on the same circuit as the adapters, as they can cause interference.
  • Avoid using surge protectors or power strips.
• Configuration Issues (Advanced Users):
  • The adapters may default to a static IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.5) with DHCP disabled. If you need to access the web interface for advanced configuration, connect a computer directly to one adapter and manually configure your computer's IP address to be on the same subnet (e.g., 192.168.0.10).
  • A factory reset will revert all settings, including IP configuration, to their defaults. To perform a factory reset, press and hold the Security/Reset button for more than 10 seconds until the LEDs flash, then release.
