TRENDnet User's Guide Powerline Utility - Device Setup Private Network Name This is the network name of your powerline network. The default network name is "HomePlugAV". When a network name is set to "HomePlugAV", it is considered a public network because most out of box Powerline adapters can join this network. Powerline adapters can only connect to each other when the network name is the same. Change the network name to make your network private (recommended to increase network security). You have to remember your network name (Private Network Name). It will be encrypted and saved to device. Even the TRENDnet Powerline Utility cannot read it in plain text again. When you visit this Private Settings again and the Private Network Name shows UnknownNetworkName, it means the network name is private. © Copyright 2018 TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved.
