Netgear abandoned its Powerline app several hardware versions ago, but it can still do a few things. Just grab it from an older plug:
Powerline Universal Utility Version 3.1.0.4
Even that cannot handle some of the settings that you might want to control. For example, by default, Netgear's Powerline plugs come with power saving enabled and can turn themselves off at inconvenient times.
If you want something to handle that, find the ZyXel Powerline utility.

When it boils down to it, Powerline plugs all seem to use the same basic chips: utilities for one brand will work on other brands. They may see the plugs as "unknown" devices but they will still work.
