network. All HomePlug devices are shipped using a default logical network (network name), which is
normally “HomePlug”

Adapter that is currently connected to this computer into a private network. Reset the private network to
universal public network by clicking on the “Use Default (Public Network)” or entering/editing
“HomePlug” under column of “Private Network Name” is always available.
Note that every Powerline Adapter on your home network MUST have the same Network Password for
connectivity to be established throughout your home
Note:
Changing the network name to anything other than “HomePlug” will show the network type on the Main
configuration screen as “Private”.

device only. All Powerline Adapter devices seen on the Main configuration homepage prior to this will

the devices who were in the old logical network. Devices previously set up with the same logical
network (same network name) will appear in the device list afterward selecting this option.
