Note: The Link Quality LED 2 indicates the signal quality of the G.hn link. Green indicates an

excellent link, amber indicates a fair link, and red indicates a poor link. If the LED is red, you

may want to move your SBX-AC1200P to a new location to see if you can improve the quality

of your G.hn link.

Note: If your pairing is not successful, you can reset the G.hn settings for the Network

Extender by pressing and holding the Pairing button for at least 15 seconds. Then, test your

connection in unsecured mode before trying again to pair securely.

Note: If you are creating a new network, all of your devices must be set to the factory default

settings before you begin. You must reset any devices that have been previously installed.

If you are adding a Network Extender to an existing network, then the Extender must be set to

the factory settings, but the Router does not need to be reset. For more details, see the Quick

Start Guide for your Extender.

Creating a G.hn Network with a Non-G.hn Router

If your router is not G.hn-capable, you can still create a G.hn network in your home using your

SBX-AC1200P and another Network Extender. Use the enclosed Ethernet cable to attach your

SBX-AC1200P to a LAN port on your router. The SBX-AC1200P will transmit data from your

router over your home's electrical wiring.

You will need a second Network Extender to complete your G.hn network. Follow the

instructions in Configuring and Installing the Network Extender SBX-1000P (page 15) to pair

the devices securely and complete your G.hn network.
