• Battery chargers (including cell phone chargers)
• Hair dryers
• Power drills and other power tools
• Halogen lights
• Vacuum cleaners
• Connect powerline devices to a power strip without noise filters
If you must connect your powerline devices to a power strip, use the
following guidelines:
• Make sure that the power strip does not have a noise filter or a
surge protector, because the powerline network signals may
become corrupted.
• Use a power strip with an AC cord that is as short as possible.
• Do not connect the adapter to a power strip that receives power
from another power strip (daisy-chained).
• Keep distances short
If two powerline devices are separated by a great distance of electrical
wiring, they may not communicate well with each other.
• Reduce electrical interference
Electrical interference (“noise”) from other electrical appliances can
interfere with the performance, speed, and reliability of your powerline
devices. For best results, unplug or isolate the following devices with a
noise-filtering power strip:
• Air conditioners
• Fluorescent lights (especially industrial-grade lights)
• Blowers
• Large electrical motors
Note: Powerline devices can interfere with appliances, such as lamps,
that have a touch-sensitive power switch.
Creating additional networks
Your Rocketfish powerline devices are all pre-configured to see each
other as part of the same network. Each has the default network name
of HomePlugAV, and any other Rocketfish powerline devices with the
same network name recognize these as part of the same network. For a
standard home network, you’ll keep these settings as they are.
