I tried changing the Private Network Name and applying it to all of my
TPL-202E devices, but “Some devices could not be added to your network” error
appears. I can no longer see any of the remote TPL-202Es. What should I do?
First, open up the TRENDnet Powerline Utility, click the Privacy tab, click Use
Default (Public Network) and then click Set Local Device Only. Second, make
sure to add each remote TPL-202E's password. See step 9 in Section 2 (How to
Install).
I have a HomePlug 1.0 or HomePlug turbo network. Can I use this with my
network?
The TPL-202E is backwards compatible with HomePlug 1.0 or HomePlug
turbo.
If you still encounter problems or have any questions regarding the TPL-202E, please
