The adapters should automatically pair. If they do not, or if you are adding more adapters, follow these steps:

2. Within 2 minutes, press the "Pair" button on the Powerline Wi-Fi 1000 Mini adapter for 1 second. The Power LED will start blinking.
3. Wait for the Powerline LED on both adapters to turn solid green, indicating a successful connection.

Note: For optimal performance, plug the adapters directly into a wall outlet. Avoid power strips, surge protectors, or extension cords, as these can interfere with the powerline signal.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Wired Connection

Once the adapters are paired, you can connect any Ethernet-enabled device (e.g., computer, smart TV, game console) to the Powerline Wi-Fi 1000 Mini adapter's Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable. This will provide a high-speed wired internet connection.

5.2. Wi-Fi Connection

The Powerline Wi-Fi 1000 Mini adapter broadcasts a Wi-Fi signal. You can connect your wireless devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops) to this network. The default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password are usually printed on a label on the adapter itself or on the Quick Installation Guide.

• Go to your device's Wi-Fi settings.
• Select the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) of your Powerline Wi-Fi 1000 Mini.
• Enter the Wi-Fi password when prompted.

For enhanced security, it is recommended to change the default Wi-Fi network name and password after initial setup. Refer to the full user manual (available on the manufacturer's website) for instructions on how to do this.
