1. Plug the DHP-P500AV directly into an AC Wall outlet or power strip*
* D-Link recommends that to ensure best performance, you should ensure you plug the
DHP-P500AV directly into a wall socket. Plugging the device into a power strip may increase
the possibility of noise and interference in the network and therefore lead to below optimal
performance.
2. Connect the included Ethernet cable to the network cable connector located on the DHP-P500AV
and attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to the network or PC.
3. Insert the D-Link DHP-P500AV CD into your CD-ROM drive. Then starts utility installation.
4. After you have completed the D-Link DHP-P500AV Utility installation wizard, double-click the D-Link
Powerline AV Utility icon on your desktop to start the configuration of the DHP-P500AV.

- Plug the DHP-P500AV directly into a wall socket and not into a power strip since some power
strips have surge protectors that may block power line signals.
- If this is not possible, then try plugging the device/s into a different power strip that is less
populated.
- Check that there are no other interfering appliances plugged into the same power strip,
particularly mobile phone chargers or hair dryers as Powerline networks are very sensitive to
electrical interference.
