HomePlug compatible devices use the same network name to recognize and communicate with each other over the powerline network. If you change the network name of one device on the network, it will no longer be recognized as part of that network. If you change the network name, make sure you change the network name for all of the powerline adapters that you want to be part of your powerline network. The network name can be from 8 to 64 characters in length, using "A"~"Z", "a"~"z", "0"~"9"; spaces are not allowed.
