TO SETUP YOUR NETGEAR PLW100 POWER LINE ADAPTER YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS:-
1. Plug PLW 1000 adapter into a power outlet near your router.
2. Use the supplied gray Ethernet cable to connect from the PLW 1000 adapter to a LAN port
on your router so that the Power line network can gain access to the Internet. The Power
and Ethernet LEDs on the Power line adapter should turn on.
3. you need to wait for at least 1 minute here and after that you can check the lights on your
adapter i.e power light , ethernet light , power line light.
There is a different way as well (by wps method)
Use WPS to Connect to Your Network
To automatically connect to the PowerLINE access point using a WPS button:
1. Press and hold the WPS button on the PowerLINE access point for
two seconds and release it. The WiFi LED starts to blink.
2. Press the WPS button on your WiFi device for two seconds and
release it.
When the WiFi LED stops blinking, your WiFi device is automatically
connected to the Power LINE access point and you can surf the web.
later on you can set security and customize the settings of your device as well .
if problem still persists you can reset your device and re setup the device.

To setup your powerline you need to follow these steps-
1.Plug you powerline adapter near to your router and connect it to your router using a ethernet cable .From LAN port to powerline.
2.Then plug your powerline extender in the wall where you need it and connect it to your computer using ethernet cable.
3.Now simply open your browser and type http://mywifiext.net and enter it will give you login screen simply type admin for username and password for password.
4.Now you can setup your powerline .
-One of the units is the PL1000, which connects to your router and then plugs directly into the wall to inject the internet connection into the Powerline.
-The other unit is the PLW1000 which you plug into any outlet in your home to expand your wireless network. It then creates its own hotspot in that room.
*Use this method if you have a wireless router or modem router with a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Push ‘N’ Connect button:
Plug the PLW1000 into a wall outlet close to your router to ensure that it is within the router’s wireless coverage area.
Press the WPS button on the router.
Within two (2) minutes, press and hold the PLW1000 “WPS” button for more than 10 seconds , then release it. This activates the auto configuration on the PLW1000, which retrieves the SSID and security settings from the router, then copies the same settings to the NETGEAR PLW1000 device.
Move the PLW1000 to the area (or dead zone), where you want to extend the wireless coverage.
Ensure that both the NETGEAR PLW1000 device and PLW1000 are connected by checking the PLW1000 LEDs.
If the LEDs are green or amber, the devices are successfully connected.
A red LED indicates a weak link rate of 50 Mbps or less.
In this case, move the adapter to another plug with a better connection. Wireless devices in that “dead” area can now connect to your network through the PLW1000 Adapter.
