Instrucciones de instalación

Follow these steps to set up your Comtrend G.hn Powerline network:

Conecte el primer adaptador: Plug one PG-9172PT adapter into a wall outlet near your internet router. Avoid power strips or surge protectors, as they can interfere with powerline performance.
Conectarse al enrutador: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the adapter's Ethernet port to an available LAN port on your internet router.
Conecte el segundo adaptador: Plug the second PG-9172PT adapter into a wall outlet in the room where you need network access.
Connect Network Device: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the second adapter's Ethernet port to your network device (e.g., computer, smart TV, game console).
Verificar conexión: Wait for the Powerline LED on both adapters to turn solid green, indicating a successful connection. If the LED is amber or red, the connection quality may be lower. If it's off, there's no connection.
Secure Pairing (Optional but Recommended): For enhanced security, press the Pair button on the first adapter for 2 seconds. Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button on the second adapter for 2 seconds. The Powerline LEDs will flash during pairing and become solid when successful.

Mantenimiento

The Comtrend PG-9172PT-KIT requires minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

Keep the adapters in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Avoid plugging the adapters into power strips, extension cords, or surge protectors, as this can degrade performance. Plug them directly into a wall outlet.
Clean the exterior of the adapters with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
Periodically check for firmware updates on the Comtrend official website to ensure the best performance and security.

Solución de problemas

Problema	Posible solución
No Powerline LED light.	Ensure both adapters are plugged directly into a wall outlet. Verify that the electrical outlets are active. Pruebe con un tomacorriente de pared diferente.
Slow connection speed (Amber/Red Powerline LED).	Move adapters to different outlets to find a better electrical circuit path. Ensure adapters are not near high-power electrical appliances (e.g., washing machines, refrigerators) that can cause interference. Evite enchufarlo a regletas de enchufes o protectores de sobretensión.
No internet access on connected device.	Check if the router has internet access. Ensure Ethernet cables are securely connected to both the adapter and the device/router. Restart the router, then the powerline adapters, and finally the connected device. Perform the secure pairing process again.
