Network Local 

Station Setting

This section describes the configuration of the HomePlug AV 

adapter you are using to access your power line network.

Enable Powerline

Select this option to activate the powerline feature on your device. 

This enables communication between different powerline adapters 

connected through standard power outlets and wiring.

Network Password  This is the network password that powerline adapters use to 

authenticate devices within a powerline network. The default 

network password of the P-660HWP-Dx is HomePlugAV.The P-

660HWP-Dx must use the same network password to recognize and 

communicate with other adapters over the powerline network. If you 

change the password of one device on the network, it will no longer 

be recognized as part of that network. If you change the network 

password, make sure you change the password for all of the 

powerline adapters that you want to be part of your powerline 

network.
The network password can be from 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters 

in length; spaces are not allowed.

Device Access Key Device Access Key (DAK) is the password used to verify that you 

are authorized to perform changes on a device. You can find the 

DAK printed on a sticker on the bottom of a HomePlug enabled 

device.
You do not have to enter the DAK of your P-660HWP-Dx to access 

the network, but it is recommended that you change the DAK for 

added security.
