If, however, you want to set up multiple powerline networks in your home or change your powerline network’s name (for added security), you can configure the powerline devices to do so.
To create an additional network and join devices to it:
1Make sure that your powerline devices are plugged into a powered wall outlet and are not in standby mode.
2Determine which powerline devices will be part of your new network, then choose one to be the first device to reconfigure. This device will be the first to get the new network name.
Tip: Gather all powerline devices for your new network into the same room to make this procedure easier. After you’re done configuring them, install them in any room you want.
3On that first device, press and hold the GROUP button for more than 10 seconds until all indicator lights turn off and on again at the same time. A random network name (different than “HomePlugAV”) is generated for the device and all original settings are erased.
4Press and hold the GROUP button again for two seconds, then release it. The power indicator starts blinking. Your device is now in “Broadcasting new network” mode.
Note: The power indicator will not start blinking if you press and hold the GROUP button for longer than two seconds.
Tip: To cancel the “Broadcasting new network” mode, press and hold the GROUP button again for three seconds.
5On each additional device you want to connect to the new network: a Press and hold the GROUP button for more than 10 seconds until all indicator lights turn off then on again at the same time. This erases the original network name of the device and frees it to
join a new network group.
