Quick Installation Guide
* TL-PA4010 KIT (European version) is used for demonstration in this QIG.
Attention
Plug powerline devices into wall outlets instead of power strips.
Set Up a Secure Powerline Network by Pairing (Recommended)
You can create or join a secure powerline network using the Pair button on two devices at a time.
Tip: We recommend that you plug in the powerline devices near each other when pairing.
To create a secure powerline network:
- Press the Pair button on one of the powerline devices for 1 second. Its Power LED
starts blinking.
Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again. - Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button on another device for 1 second. Its Power LED starts blinking.
- When the Powerline LED
turns on, it’s done.
To join an existing secure powerline network:
- Press the Pair button on any of the existing powerline devices for 1 second. Its Power LED starts blinking.
Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again. - Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button on the new powerline adapter for 1 second. Its Power LED starts blinking.
- When the Powerline LED turns on, it’s done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How do I reset my powerline adapter?
A. With the powerline adapter plugged into an electrical outlet, press and hold the Pair button for more than 6 seconds until the Power LED goes off momentarily and then comes back on.
Q2. What should I do if the Powerline LED is not solid?
- If the LED is blinking:
A. The powerline adapter is in a location with poor signal strength. Try another wall socket.
- If the LED is off:
A1. Try another wall socket and make sure all powerline devices are on the same electrical circuit.
A2. Try to set up a powerline network by pairing. Refer to the section above for instructions.
A3. If the problem persists, contact our Technical Support.
Q3. What should I do if there is no internet connection in my powerline network?
A1. Make sure all powerline devices are on the same electrical circuit.
A2. Make sure the Powerline LEDs are lit on all of your powerline devices. If they are not, pair all devices again.
A3. Make sure all devices are correctly and securely connected.
A4. Check if you have an internet connection by connecting the computer directly to the modem or router.
Q4. What should I do if a successfully-paired powerline device does not reconnect after it is relocated?
A1. Try another socket and make sure it is on the same electrical circuit.
A2. Try to pair the device again, and make sure the Powerline LED is on.
A3. Check for possible interference due to a washing machine, air conditioner, or other household appliance that may be too close to one of the powerline devices. Plug the appliance into the integrated electrical socket to remove the electrical noise if your powerline device has an integrated electrical socket.
