Powerline Screen

This screen can be reached via the Powerline link on the main menu.

This screen allows you to set the Powerline Network Password for the router as well as other Powerline devices on your network. All Powerline devices must use the same Powerline Network Password to communicate with each other.

You can also use this screen to assign a new Network Password to other Powerline stations on your LAN. To do this:

1.Enter the default passcodes of any Powerline stations on your LAN.

Each Powerline station has a unique Passcode/Password in the format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx- xxxx, usually shown on a label on the rear or base of the Powerline device.

2.In the "Other Stations" list, select the stations you wish to assign the Network Password to.

3.Click the "Set Network Password" Button.

4.A confirmation message will appear confirming the success of the password change for each device. An error message will appear if any device is not able to be reset to the new network password.
