This field selects the G.hn profile of all PLAs to apply in the HomeGrid network (PLC 100 MHz
MIMO Boost, PLC 100 MHz Boost).
• Select PLC 100 MHz MIMO Boost (multiple input multiple output) when the PLA connects to a
3-prong electrical socket in your home. Multiple electrical paths between PLAs in the same
HomeGrid network are available and sending and receiving of data is through all 3 wires
(power, neutral, and ground).
• Select PLC 100 MHz Boost when the PLA connects to a 2-wire electrical socket. A single
electrical path between PLAs in the same HomeGrid network is available and sending and
receiving of data is through the 2 wires (power and neutral).
Use this password for authentication. Enter a custom password to manually create a secure
connection with another PLA. The password can be up to 30 alphanumeric and special
