Description
This lists the Powerline devices detected on the network after the utility
completes a scan for devices. The device name is initially set by the utility, but
can be changed to reflect your specific adapter. For example, "Office" or "Master
Bedroom".
NOTE: Device names are stored on your computer, not in the powerline
adapters, so, if you use the Powerline Utility on another computer, you will not be
able to see the modified devices names on that computer.
This identifies the model number of the Powerline Adapter.
The MAC address for the Powerline device. This is also on the product label,
which might not be visible when the device is plugged in.
This indicates the type of traffic that can be handled smoothly and the link rate
for each Powerline device: HD Video, SD/DVD Video, or Data.

quality level, the device will successfully transmit data. LED will be
red.
