Expanding a Powerline Network
What is a network?
A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A
home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet
access, which requires a router.
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a
printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,
additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,
game consoles, and Internet cameras.
Modem Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
Router Connects multiple devices to the Internet.
Switch Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your
router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired
network devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an
additional switch to add more wired connections.
How to expand a home network
Wireless Access Points add or extend wireless connectivity to an existing network.
Integrated Powerline technology allows you to further extend your network using your
existing electrical system in your home using multiple powerline adapters.

Connect wireless devices using WiFi Clone / WPS
WiFi Clone is a feature that makes it easy to setup your TPL-430AP to connect to your
network. This feature allows your TPL-430AP to copy your router’s existing settings (ex:
Wireless SSID, Wireless Password etc.) to your TPL-430AP. If your router supports WPS,
you can use WiFi Clone to easily connect your TPL-430AP to your router.
Note: WiFi Clone will only copy your router’s 2.4GHz settings and apply it to both bands
of your TPL-430AP.
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS, you can use this feature to
easily add wireless devices to your network.
Note: You will not be able to use WPS if you set the SSID Broadcast setting to Disabled or
if you are using WEP or WPA security. Please note that WPS functionality will only be
available when using WPA2 security.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to
your network.
Push Button Configuration (PBC) method
(RECOMMENDED) Hardware Push Button methodwith an external button
located physically on your access point and on your client device
WPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in access point management page
Recommended WiFi Clone Method
Note: It is recommended that a wireless key (passphrase or password) is created
before connecting the TPL-430AP using the WiFi Clone method. By default, your
access point is preconfigured with a wireless encryption key. If no wireless key is
defined when connecting via PBC, the access point will automatically create an
encryption key that is 64 characters long. This 64-character key will then have to be
used if one has to connect computers to the access point using the traditional
connection method.
PBC (Software/Virtual Push Button)
Advanced > WPS
In addition to the hardware push button located physically on your access point, the
access point management page also has push button which is a software or virtual push
button you can click to activate WPS on your access point.

How to choose the type of security for your wireless network
There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each
having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network
taking into consideration compatibility, performance, as well as the security strength
along with using older wireless networking hardware (also called legacy hardware).
It is strongly recommended to enable wireless security to prevent unwanted users from
accessing your network and network resources (personal documents, media, etc.).
In general, it is recommended that you choose the security type with the highest strength
and performance supported by the wireless computers and devices in your network.
Please review the security types to determine which one you should use for your network.
Wireless Encryption Types
WPA: This encryption is significantly more robust than the WEP technology. Much of
the older 802.11g hardware was been upgraded (with firmware/driver upgrades) to
support this encryption standard. Total wireless speeds under this encryption type
however are limited to 54Mbps.
WPA2: This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar to WPA
encryption but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the highest
connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your access point to this
encryption standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does not
support WPA2 encryption, then set your access point to either WPA or WPA-Auto
encryption.
Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless
appliances to verify the highest level of encryption supported. Below is brief
comparison chart of the wireless security types and the recommended configuration
depending on which type you choose for your wireless network.

Steps to improve wireless connection
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce
the range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that
will minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
a. For the widest coverage area, install your access point near the center
of your home, and near the ceiling, if possible.
b. Avoid placing the access point on or near metal objects (such as file
cabinets and metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or
mirrors), and masonry walls.
c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic
objects), so the fewer obstructions between the access point and the
wireless device, the better.
d. Place the access point in a location away from other electronics,
motors, and fluorescent lighting.
e. Many environmental variables can affect the access point’s
performance, so if your wireless signal is weak, place the access point
in several locations and test the signal strength to determine the ideal
position.
2. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor
environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes
through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid
wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal.
3. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use
the wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna
orientation for your wireless devices.
4. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also
impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that
generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.
If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)
from older wireless standards to 802.11n or 802.11ac. If a wirelessly networked device
uses an older standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices,
installing additional access points or wireless extenders.

Advanced > Wireless Settings
Advanced
These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced
wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended that these settings remain set to
their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these
values. Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance.
1. Log into your powerline access point management page.
2. Click on Advanced and click on Wireless Settings.
3. Review the basic wireless settings and click Apply when finished.
Enable SSID Check the option to enable the wireless network/band or uncheck to
disable. Note: It is recommended to leave this setting checked.
SSID: Enter the wireless name (SSID) for your wireless network.
This acronym stands for Service Set Identifier and is the name of your wireless
network. It differentiates your wireless network from others around you. By default,
the access point’s wireless name is unique to the device. If you choose to change the
SSID, change it to a name that you can easily remember.
User Isolation: Enabling this option allows other clients to not see other clients on
the same network.
WMM Advertise: Enabling this option turns on QoS for your AP. By default, the
option is enabled.
Wireless interface type: If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this
Access Point can connect in the same transmission mode, you can improve
performance slightly by choosing the appropriate mode. If you have some devices
that use a different transmission mode, choose the appropriate mode.
2.4 GHz Wireless
B/G/N mixed: Select this mode for the best compatibility. This mode allows
older 802.11b and 802.11g wireless devices to connect to the access point in
addition to newer 802.11n devices.
B/G mixed: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point
using older and slow 802.11b or 802.11g technology and it thereby reduces
the router’s maximum speed to 54Mbps (typically not recommended).
N only: This mode only allows newer 802.11n devices to connect to your
access point. This mode does ensure the highest speed and security for your
network, however, if you have older 802.11g wireless clients, they will no
longer be able to connect to this router.
Note: Please check the specifications on your wireless devices for the highest
wireless capability supported first before applying these settings. If you are
unsure, it is recommended that you keep the default setting (B/G/N mixed)
for the best compatibility.
5 GHz Wireless
A only: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point using
older and slower 802.11a technology (typically not recommended).
A/N mixed: This mode only allows devices to connect to the access point
using older and slower 802.11a or 802.11n technology and it thereby reduces
the access point’s maximum speed to 54Mbps (typically not recommended).
A/N/AC mixed: Select this mode for the best compatibility. This mode allows
older 802.11a and 802.11n wireless devices to connect to the access point in
addition to newer 802.11ac devices.
Note: Please check the specifications on your wireless devices for the highest
wireless capability supported first before applying these settings. If you are
unsure, it is recommended that you keep the default setting (A/N/AC mixed)
for the best compatibility.
