Powerline Utility – Device Setup

Private Network Name

This is the network name of
your powerline network.
Default is "HomePlugAV". When
network name set to
"HomePlugAV", it considered a
public network because very
out of box Powerline adapter
can join this network.
Powerline adapters connect to
each other only when network
name is the same. Change
network name and make your
network private is
recommended to increase your
privacy.
You have to remember your
network name (Private
Network Name). It will be
encrypted and save to device.
Even Powerline Utility cannot
read it in plain text again. When
you visit this Private Settings
again and the Private Network
Name show
UnknownNetworkName, it
means the network name is
private.
