Default Help using powerline wireless extender and Mac

Hi there

I have slightly patchy wireless coverage in parts of my house and so bought one of these

http://www.solwise.co.uk/net-powerline-pl-85pew-mk2.htm

I can't for the life of me figure out what they are talking about in the set up instructions (you can download them from that link) especially as it seems to refer to a PC and I have a mac book.

Can anybody help and tell me in English what I am meant to do??

Thanks

If it helps I've installed some of those in a friends house that is exclusively Apple. You should be able to use Safari web browser to configure them.

The way I read that is that you need a pc with windows to initially setup the ip addresses on the homeplug using their software? then use a browser to configure the wireless side of it?

If your network has the ip addresses 192.168.0.1 in use which it probably will have then you will need to do the initial setup with the pc.

if not then just point your browser at that address and enter the password and username , then change the settings to how you want them..

Not sure if that makes sense, but it does to me
