Setting Up Your
Powerline
Adapter
Powerline adapters let you create a
network using the existing electrical
wiring in your home or office instead of
installing Ethernet cables.
This chapter describes how to connect a
Gateway USB to Powerline adapter or a
Gateway Ethernet to Powerline adapter
to your Windows computer and
configure Windows for a powerline
network. Complete these tasks in
sequence:
■ “Step 1: Installing the hardware
and software” on page 2.
■ “Step 2: Adding the computer
to the network” on page 8.
■ “Step 3: Configuring the TCP/IP
protocol” on page 20.
