You can set the name of your network to make it
either public or private. Make sure the Network
Name of all of the devices within your Powerline
network is the same.
Select this option if you would like to set your
Powerline network public with the default
Network Name of “HomePlugAV”. Since this is a
commonly used network name, it is less secure
than a private Network Name.
Select this option if you wish to make your
Powerline network more secure by using a
private Network Name.
This section provides information on the
Powerline AV devices on your Powerline
network.
Click this button to scan for new Powerline
devices. This is automatically done periodically

Here you can set the Quality of Service (QoS)
settings for each network device. QoS helps you
prioritize network traffic based on device or the
port the traffic is on.
Select a device from the

dropdown box and then click the
<<
above
Computer Name
to automatically fill in the
device’s MAC Address. Or, Set the priority for the device under the
Priority
dropdown box. Clear settings for a rule with the
Clear
button. Remember to click

after making changes.
