What do you want to monitor?
&nbsp;
If you are lucky, the desktop genie can show a Powerline map. You can then "Right click" to see some information .

What is the "desktop genie" ?

The local (Windows/Mac) app.

But it wont do bandwidth.

so far I used "TP_Link Powerline utilty" and "CPL Devolo informer" with previous CPLs.
these are simple tools that show me the bandwidth which is the critical characteristic of the CPL plugins : so many Mbits/sec this way and so many Mbits/sec the other way
&nbsp;
I do not find the "desktop genie" on my Windows 10. I reckon it is french and may have another nickname&nbsp;&nbsp; :)
&nbsp;
SImple file transfer seems to show my CPL are working fine, but I cannot do a file transfer every time I want to check network is fine.
