Can't change the Powerline Network Name

Model :

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version :

ISP :

I recently bought a TL-WPA8630P KIT ( 1 TL-WPA8630P + 1 TL-PA8010P)

When I change the "Powerline Network Name" of the TL-WPA8630P, it doesn't find the TL-PA8010P anymore. It seems, the "Powerline Network Name" of the TL-PA8010P is fixed at "HomePlugAV".

So what's the sense of it?

I found out, that

* you must connect the TL-WPA8630P via lan-cable to change the "Powerline Network Name"
* than you can add the TL-PA8010P with its "Powerline-Key"

The "powerline network name" is actually the encryption passphrase - so when you change that on one adapter, you need to pair all the others back in.
