Netgear Powerline 1200 Setup

Netgear Powerline 1200 setup - a very convenient way to run Ethernet signals over existing power wiring securely. When you purchase a Netgear Powerline 1200 - after unboxing, you may see that there are two Powerline devices in a box with two Ethernet cables. And, that’s all you need.

Step 1: Plug device 1 into a wall socket near your router. Bear in mind – the Netgear Powerline 1200 must be plugged in directly, not through UPS or using a power strip.

Step 2: Using an Ethernet cable, connect your Netgear Powerline 1200 (device 1) and your main router.

Step 3: Now, connect the second Netgear Powerline 1200 directly to a different power outlet. Do not plug the devices into different rooms. The reason is, if you plug them into two different rooms, their WiFi signals would get interrupted.

Step 4: Now, wait for a couple of minutes for the LEDs to get green and lit. You will see three green LEDs on each device. It indicates that the devices are synchronizing with each other. By any chance, if the Powerline LED goes red, it means that the devices are not working. It may take longer than usual to become green.

And, once you see a green light on the devices, you should be now able to connect to your main router and the internet.

Step 5: Try to access a random web address, let’s say – www.mywifiext.net to ensure that things are working and everything is up-to-the-mark.

Netgear Powerline 1200 setup is completed. You now have an uninterrupted internet range to access in every nook and cranny of your house. So, without thinking much, start streaming your favorite shows on Netflix or Amazon.
