  • 1.5m AC power supply USB-C cord
  • 1m ethernet cable

Installation instructions

  1. Identify a space within 1 meter of your home’s internet router/modem for the PE241 device and within 1.5 meters of a power outlet (within reach of the provided ethernet and power cables).
  2. Connect the ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on your router/modem and the other end to the WAN port of the PE241 (on the far left side of the PE241).
  3. Plug the AC power supply into the power outlet and then insert the other small end (USB-C) into the port with the power icon above it. The device will take one to two minutes to power up.

  • The green light indicates power, it will turn on when the device is powered.
  • The yellow light indicates the unit is connected to your router modem. If it is flashing, it means the device is successfully connected and transmitting.
  • The blue light indicates ethernet connectivity to the home router/modem. It will flash when data is being successfully transmitted.

The PE241 is now gathering speed and latency performance analytics and no further action is required.

Notes

  • A yellow light beside the WAN port will flash when data is transmitting.
  • The PE241 device is connected by a wired ethernet connection and does not need either its antennae or body positioned specially (like a WiFi device may need to be).
  • The additional ethernet ports (LAN1-3) inputs are for functionality not being utilized for this test.
