1. Open the utility, move your mouse over a device, and click the (Basic) icon.

Note: Login is required at your first access to basic settings of a powerline extender. The login username and password (admin/admin by default) are the same as those of the web management interface.

2. Go to the Wireless page, click 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

Note: If your computer use a static IP address, you should keep the IP address of your computer in the same segment as your Powerline device. We recommend you change your computer to obtain an IP address automatically.

IMPORTANT: If wireless section does not appear on the utility, please make sure your product is connected to is wireless device, and please reconnect the product to your computer and open the utility again.
