)NSTALLATION

These instructions explain how to add an XEPS103 Space-Saving Powerline Network 
Extender to your existing network. To do this, you complete these two simple steps:

•

Connect the XEPS103 Powerline Extender to your router.

•

Connect one or more XE103 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Adapters to form a PowerLine 
network.

After you install the XEPS103 Powerline Extender and XE103 or other HomePlug-
compatible Ethernet Adapters, your network will combine these two elements:

•

An Ethernet portion where the devices are connected with cables.

•

A PowerLine portion where the devices are connected over your electrical power 
wires.

The encryption of the information you send over the PowerLine helps keep it secure. This 
security feature is especially relevant in settings like apartment buildings.

The XEPS103 is designed for easy installation. Check that these minimum requirements 
are met.

•

Your router uses a 12V 1A power adapter. This includes, but is not limited to, the 
following Netgear router and switch models:

–

FVS318

–

GS105, GS605, GS608

–

WG102

–

WGPS606

–

KWGR614, WGR614, WGT624, WGT624SC, WGTB511B

–

WNR834M, WNR834B

–

WPN824, WPNT834

If in doubt, check the label on your router’s power adapter. 

•

Your Ethernet network is set up and an Ethernet LAN port is available on your router. 

The XEPS103 Powerline Extender has status lights on the front. as described in the 
following table.

Power (color green):
• Solid green when electrical power is on.
• Off when there is no electrical power.

Ethernet (color green):
• Solid on when the Ethernet port is linked but there is no activity.
• Blinks on when there is traffic on the Ethernet port.
• Off when no link is detected.

HomePlug—PowerLine network status (color blue): 
• Solid on when connected to a PowerLine network.
• Blinks off when PowerLine data is being transmitted or received.
• Off when no other compatible PowerLine devices using the same 

PowerLine password are found.

Use the following procedure to set up your XEPS103 Powerline Extender.

XEPS103 Device 
Password

The password for each device is printed on a label attached to 
the back of the device. The password for the individual 
devices is required if you want to set the PowerLine password 
for all PowerLine devices in one operation.

PowerLine Password

HomePlug 

a

You can change this password to prevent unauthorized access 
to your PowerLine network.

b

a. This is the same default as the NETGEAR XE102, WGX102, XE103, and 

XE104 PowerLine products.

b. You get the full bandwidth of the XEPS103 when you use it with other high-

bandwidth PowerLine devices like the XE103. Giving the units their own 
password will put them on their own logical network, even though they share 
the same power wires as other PowerLine devices. Refer to the user guide on 
your CD for more information on configuring the PowerLine password.
