4. Iestatīšana

Setting up your TP-Link AV200 Nano Powerline Adapter Starter Kit is a simple plug-and-play process. No software configuration is typically required for basic operation.

4.1. Pamatinstalēšana

1. Plug in Adapter 1: Plug one TL-PA2010 adapter into a wall outlet near your router.
2. Savienojuma izveide ar maršrutētāju: Connect Adapter 1 to an available LAN port on your router using the provided Ethernet cable.
3. Plug in Adapter 2: Plug the second TL-PA2010 adapter into a wall outlet in the room where you need internet access.
4. Savienojuma izveide ar ierīci: Connect Adapter 2 to your network device (e.g., computer, smart TV, game console) using another Ethernet cable.

Once both adapters are plugged in and connected, the Powerline LED and Ethernet LED on both adapters should illuminate, indicating a successful connection. If the Powerline LED is off, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

4.2 Securing Your Powerline Network (Pairing)

For enhanced security, you can pair your powerline adapters to create a private network. This is recommended if you have multiple powerline devices or if you are concerned about network security.

1. Ensure both adapters are plugged into wall outlets and powered on.
2. Nospiediet pogu Pāris button on one adapter for 1 second. The Power LED will start blinking.
3. Divu minūšu laikā nospiediet Pāris button on the second adapter for 1 second. The Power LED on this adapter will also start blinking.
4. When the Powerline LED on both adapters turns solid, the pairing process is complete, and your powerline network is secured.

Piezīme: For optimal performance, plug powerline adapters directly into wall outlets. Avoid power strips, surge protectors, or extension cords, as these can interfere with powerline communication.

5. Operating the Powerline Adapters

Once installed, your powerline adapters operate automatically, extending your network connection. They function as a transparent bridge, allowing any Ethernet-enabled device to connect to your network via the electrical wiring.

5.1 Connecting Additional Devices

You can add more powerline adapters (TL-PA2010 or compatible HomePlug AV adapters) to your existing powerline network. Simply plug the new adapter into a wall outlet and pair it with an existing adapter as described in Section 4.2.

5.2. Tīkla veiktspēja

The actual data transfer rate can vary based on several factors, including:

• Distance between adapters
• Quality of electrical wiring
• Electrical noise from other appliances
• Tīkla trafiks
• Building materials and construction

While the theoretical maximum speed is 200Mbps, real-world performance will be lower. However, it should be sufficient for typical internet activities like browsing, streaming, and online gaming.

6. Apkope

The TP-Link AV200 Nano Powerline Adapters are designed for low maintenance. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance and longevity:

• Tiešs pieslēgums sienas kontaktligzdai: Always plug the adapters directly into a wall outlet. Avoid power strips, surge protectors, or extension cords, as they can degrade performance or block the powerline signal.
• Tīrīšana: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the adapters. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Enerģijas taupīšanas režīms: The adapters feature an automatic power-saving mode that reduces power consumption by up to 75% when no data transmission occurs for a certain period. This helps conserve energy without requiring manual intervention.
• Vides apstākļi: Operate the adapters within their specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent damage.

7. Traucējummeklēšana

If you encounter issues with your powerline adapters, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

7.1 No Powerline Connection (Powerline LED is off)

• Pārbaudiet jaudu: Ensure both adapters are plugged into live wall outlets and powered on.
• Tiešais savienojums: Confirm that adapters are plugged directly into wall outlets, not into power strips, surge protectors, or extension cords.
• Elektriskā ķēde: Powerline adapters work best when on the same electrical circuit. If they are on different circuits, the signal might be weak or non-existent. Try moving the adapters to outlets on the same circuit.
• Traucējumi: Large power-consuming appliances (e.g., washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners) can cause interference. Try plugging the adapters into different outlets away from such devices.
• Savienošana pārī: If you have multiple powerline devices or if the adapters were previously used in another network, they might need to be re-paired. Follow the pairing instructions in Section 4.2.

7.2 Lēns tīkla ātrums

• Tiešais savienojums: Pārliecinieties, vai adapteri ir tieši pievienoti sienas kontaktligzdām.
• Elektriskais troksnis: Disconnect other electrical devices from nearby outlets to check for interference.
• Attālums: The further apart the adapters are, or the more complex the electrical wiring path, the slower the speed.
• Strāvas slēdži: Electrical circuits passing through different circuit breakers can reduce performance.
• Kabeļa kvalitāte: Ensure the Ethernet cables used are in good condition and properly connected.

7.3 No Internet Access on Connected Device

• Pārbaudiet maršrutētāju: Verify that your router has an active internet connection.
• Ethernet savienojums: Ensure the Ethernet cables are securely connected to both the powerline adapter and your device/router. The Ethernet LED on the adapter should be lit.
• Adapter Status: Check the Powerline LED on both adapters. If it's off, refer to "No Powerline Connection" above.
• Atsāknēšana: Try unplugging both powerline adapters and your router for a few seconds, then plug them back in.

8. Specifikācijas

Piezīme: Theoretical maximum channel data transfer rate is derived from HomePlug AV2 specifications.
