Powerline network name groups powerline devices into a network. TP-Link powerline devices use the name HomePlugAV by default, and therefore they can form a network once plugged on the same electrical circuit. You can change this name to a new one, allowing only the powerline devices using the same name to join your network.
To set a new powerline network name, follow the steps below:
Step 1
Open the utility, and click Secure on the left column.
For your reference: How to prepare for using the tpPLC Utility on Windows ?
Step 2
On the Secure Powerline Network page, enter a new name, or generate a random name. Then click Save .
Now only the powerline devices using the same name can join your whole Powerline network.
