Want to change the network on my Powerline 1200
This doesn't seem terribly complicated but I can't figure out how to do this. My computer is connected to the internet through a Powerline 1200 ethernet router thing. It's connected through a network...
I'm confused by what you're describing/attempting.
Please describe the network as such for what you'd like. Please fill in the * with the models you're using.
modem*--->router*---->PL1200---->pl1200--->PC*
is this what you're doing? The base level PL1200 isn't wireless so where is this coming into the equation?
So I guess a better description of what you're attempting and whats goign on is needed to help you with this. Also, if its in regard to your powerline device, you should probably post this in the powerline forum.

We have three wifi networks. The when the powerline is plugged into my computer, it says it's connected to "monopoly", I want it to be connected with "stratego" since stratego is faster.
There's zero wireless with this powerline device you've listed.
So if you're plugged into your router with the powerline and then the opposite end plugs into the computer, its directly connected.
Powerline isn't always going to be the fastest as there are things that interfere with it.
