If You Do Not See All Your Devices with the Powerline Utility

If you click Refresh on the main screen of the Powerline Utility, and do not see all the devices you expect, it could be that a Powerline adapter is in power saving mode or is set to use a different encryption key.

•Power saving mode. You might see a message at the bottom of the screen regarding the power saving feature. If a unit goes into power saving mode, the Powerline Utility does not find it. Keeping a connected Ethernet cable plugged into the device keeps it active so that it does not go in to power saving mode.

•Encryption keys are different. To fix this, you can do one of the following:

-Reset your Powerline adapters to their factory settings and default encryption key. Then set the encryption for all of your Powerline adapters.

-Connect your computer to each Powerline device and set up the network encryption key for one adapter at a time.
