Assigning a network key to powerline interface
Stolen verbatim from Mikrotik's documentation
- The currently configured network-key can be seen using the monitor command as plc-actual-network-key:
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface pwr-line monitor pwr-line1
- Set network key:
/interface pwr-line configure pwr-line1 network-key=cb01fcc6167bf3d1edb1433c2ebde4b3
- for some reason, setting the network password instead of the network key didn't work
