Patent number: 8270934Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, and computer-readable media are provided for configuring a power line networking device. According to one method, wireless network settings are converted into equivalent power line network settings compatible with a power line network. The converted settings are then utilized to configure the power line networking device for operation on the power line network. The power line network may be compatible with the HOMEPLUG networking standard by the HOMEPLUG POWER ALLIANCE. The wireless network settings may include a SSID and a wireless network key. The conversion process may be performed by a power line networking device or by a computer in communication with the power line networking device. The conversion and configuration may be performed in response to detecting that the power line networking device has not been configured for operation with the power line network.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Scott Manchester, James A. Mentz, Younus Aftab, Andreas H. Melder, Greg J. Gangitano
