Node mode operates by connecting the HomePlug USB adapter (GHPU21) or Ethernet bridge (GHPB31)
to one computer (ONLY) and installing drivers onto the computer, allowing it to set the device into Node
Mode. The advantage with Node Mode operation is there is no limitation to the number of nodes that
can operate on a HomePlug network.
5. Will HomePlug operate on different Circuit Breakers?
Yes. Circuit breakers do not affect performance of HomePlug devices, however the signal will not pass
through the power transformers outside your house.
6. Can Neighbors get my HomePlug signal?
It is possible for your immediate (next door) neighbor to receive residual signal from your HomePlug
adapter. Unlikely, but possible. To prevent your neighbors from hacking your network, the best thing
you can do is type a different encryption password into your device when setting the encryption
password. Note: All devices must have the same password to be on one network. If devices do not
have the same encryption password, they will not be able to communicate with each other.
