TRENDnet User's Guide Powerline Utility - Device Setup Private Network Name This is the network name of your powerline network. Default is "HomePlugAV". When network name set to "HomePlugAV", it considered a public network because very out of box Powerline adapter can join this network. Powerline adapters connect to each other only when network name is the same. Change network name and make your network private is recommended to increase your privacy. You have to remember your network name (Private Network Name). It will be encrypted and save to device. Even Powerline Utility cannot read it in plain text again. When you visit this Private Settings again and the Private Network Name show UnknownNetworkName, it means the network name is private. © Copyright 2015 TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved.
