Add a Device to a Powerline Network
If you are adding a device to a Powerline network, and the network encryption key has been

• You can use the Security button to add the new device to your network. See Use the
Security Button to Set the Encryption Key on page 9.

If your network traffic is a mix of multimedia traffic and document and database traffic, you
might want to give priority to a particular traffic type. If it is important that your multimedia
