Install the Powerline Utility
This utility allows you to set your own unique Powerline network encryption key, and prioritize
traffic passing through your Powerline network.
All devices on a Powerline network can be managed from one computer. If you add another
Powerline device to a Powerline network, you can install the Powerline Utility on the
computer connected locally to the new adapter, or open the utility on the computer originally
used to set up the Powerline network encryption key. You can use any computer to manage
the network, but this procedure assumes that you are working from the computer that is
connected to a Powerline adapter.
