Two PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapters (DHP-600AV)
If any of the above items are missing, please contact your reseller.
Minimum Requirements
Network Requirements
• Ethernet Network Interface (10/100/1000 Mbps)
• Router with Internet Connection
• An available electrical outlet
Introduction
The DHP-601AV is D-Link’s PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Starter Kit. It contains two DHP-600AV adapters. The DHP-600AV is a fast, 1Gbps* PowerLine
AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapter, which allows you to connect your home computers, networking devices, and video game consoles using the most
pervasive medium in your home - the existing electrical wiring.
Features
• Transforms Your Home’s Electrical Wiring into a Home Network Using Existing Power Outlets
• Fast Data Transfer Rate of Up to 1Gbps*
• One Gigabit Ethernet Port
• Plug & Play, Easy Installation
• Push Button Security
Note: Power outlets and electrical wiring must all be part of the same electrical system. Certain electrical conditions in your home, such as wiring condition
and configuration, may affect the performance of this product. Additional D-Link PowerLine AV series products are required to add new devices to the
network. A minimum of two D-Link PowerLine AV series products are required to create a network. Connecting this product to a power strip with a surge
protector may adversely affect the performance of this product. For best results, plug the adapter directly into a wall outlet.
* Maximum throughput based on theoretical transmission PHY rate. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of traffic
and network overhead, may lower actual data throughput rate. Interference from devices that emit electrical noise, such as vacuum cleaners and hair dryers, may adversely affect
the performance of this product. This product may interfere with devices such as lighting systems that have a dimmer switch, short wave radios, or other PowerLine devices that
do not follow the HomePlug AV standard.

Hardware Installation
Recommendations
• For best results, use in a regular wall outlet without any other devices plugged in. Connecting this product to a power strip or a surge protector
may adversely affect the performance of this device.
• Avoid using the PowerLine adapters in an electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that uses a lot of power such as a washer, dryer,
refrigerator, microwave, hair dryer, or air conditioning unit.
• If you are having connection problems, plug in both adapters within the same room to determine whether your home’s electrical wiring is
contributing to the issue. The adapters’ PowerLine LED indicators will illuminate if the connection is established. Once configured, you may
move an adapter to another location.
Installation
1. Plug in one of the DHP-600AV adapters and connect to your router with an Ethernet cable. The Power and Ethernet LEDs should both light up.

2. Plug in the other DHP-600AV adapter in the room that you want to extend your network to. The Power LED will light up.

3. Verify that the PowerLine LEDs on both adapters are lit. If they are, the adapters are connected. If not, try another wall outlet (closer to the other
PowerLine adapter).

4. To secure your network, press the Simple Connect button for two seconds on one of the adapters. The Power LED will start to blink. Then, within two
minutes, press the Simple Connect button on the other adapter for two seconds. Once the Power LEDs stop blinking, verify that the PowerLine LEDs on
both adapters are lit (as in Step 3). This indicates that your adapters are properly connected to each other.

5. You may now connect another device to the DHP-600AV adapter, using an Ethernet cable. Verify that the Ethernet LED is lit. Your hardware
installation is complete.
Note: D-Link PowerLine devices can not be configured while in Power Saving Mode.
It’s recommended that you create a private encryption key for network security purposes. The private encryption key allows you to protect your
network from unauthorized access via the PowerLine network. To create a private encryption key instead of the default encryption key, follow the
steps below:
1. All Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be configured, making sure each device’s encryption key is set to HomePlug AV. If the encryption key is not set to the
default value, press the Simple Connect button for 10 seconds to reset to the default value.
2. First Adapter
Press the Simple Connect button of the first adapter for no more than three seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you
release the button. The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption key that each adapter will use.
3. Second Adapter
Within two minutes of pushing the Simple Connect button of the first adapter, press the Simple Connect button of the second adapter in your
PowerLine network for no more than three seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.
Note: Both Simple Connect buttons must be pressed within two minutes.
4. PowerLine Network
After above Push Button Security setup steps, your PowerLine network will be securely configured with the same network encryption key. The
adapters will memorize the security settings even if they are unplugged.
Note: To change the private encryption key, please reset the adapter back to its default value by pressing the Reset button for one second and then follow
the security setup procedure above.
Note: Both Simple Connect buttons must be pressed within two minutes.
After performing the above Push Button Security Setup steps, your PowerLine network will be securely configured using the same network encryption
key for all PowerLine adapters.
1. Connect PowerLine devices into electrical outlets that are not controlled by a wall switch. This will help you to avoid
accidentally turning off power to the device.
3. Avoid plugging your PowerLine devices into electrical outlets that are located near
appliances that use a lot of power, such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Doing
this could prevent the adapter from working correctly, or may negatively impact
network performance.
4. Verify that your PowerLine devices are electrically rated to operate with the power
available in your location.
5. Be sure to plug the power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets in order to help prevent against electrical
shock.
Safety
Please read all of the safety and operating instructions before using your devices:
2. Use the devices in a dry location, and avoid placing them in humid environments.
3. Do not submerge the devices in liquid or attempt to clean them with liquids or solvents. To clean the devices, disconnect
from the power outlet and use a damp towel.
6. Make sure that the devices have adequate room for ventilation.
Troubleshooting
If I do not see LEDs light up?
If the Power LED is off, make sure the PowerLine devices are plugged into outlets with power. Also make sure the PowerLine devices are not
plugged into an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector.
If the PowerLine LED is off, the devices are unable to find each other. You can plug in all the PowerLine adapters within the same room in order
to determine whether your home’s electrical outlets are suitable. The adapters’ PowerLine LED will light up when a connection is established.
