You need to introduce your new plugs to the existing "master plug":

What is a "Master plug" ?

The one that you connect to the router.

I bought the PLP1200 and i changed my "Master plug" by one of the PLP1200 to go faster. It works but the Power line utility gives a bad information or incomplete.

Do the PLP1200 work with this software ? That is my question.

If Yes, What do I have to do with this software ?

The support pages for the PLP1200 

 

PLP1200 | Product | Support | NETGEAR

 

do not show the powerline utility, so I would not be confident that it will work.

 

If the device does what you expect, you may have to line with that.

 

There may also be other non-Netgear software out that there will work with the plugs. You may find references to Zyxel around here. The messages I have seen suggest that the latest version of the Zyxel utility does not work so well. I wonder if an older version of the Netgear software would play  nicer.

Thank you for your answer. I will wait for a next evolution of the power utility.
