Resetting to Factory Defaults

This option returns the Network ID to the default value of “PowerlineHD” and the Powerline Mode Option to autodetection mode. Only one device at a time can be reset.

Note: Because the Network ID is reset, the device will be disconnected from the network if, before resetting the device, the Network ID was not the default. Therefore, make

sure you reset all your remote devices before you reset the local device.
