wherein the processor classifies the slave power line devices into different groups according to the RSSI table, wherein each of the groups has a corresponding priority,

wherein when the section of the power line network is broken, the processor selects the slave power line device comprised in the group having the highest priority and the largest RSSI value to be the agent device from the slave power line devices located in the broken section.

7. The power line transmission system of claim 6 , wherein the processor determines whether the RSSI value between the slave power line device and the main power line device is larger than a threshold, wherein when the RSSI value is larger than the threshold, the processor classifies the slave power line device to the group having a first priority.

8. The power line transmission system of claim 7 , wherein the processor further determines whether the RSSI value between the slave power line device not classified and the slave power line device comprised in the group having the first priority is larger than the threshold, wherein when the RSSI value is larger than the threshold, the processor classifies the slave power line device not classified to the group having a second priority.

9. The power line transmission system of claim 8 , wherein when selecting the agent device, the processor excludes the slave power line device having RSSI values in the RSSI table smaller than the threshold to be the agent device.

10. The power line transmission system of claim 6 , wherein when the broken section of the power line network is recovered, the processor terminates a wireless network function provided by the wireless transmission device of the agent device and returns to use the power line network device.

11. A power line transmission system applicable to a power line network, comprising:

a main power line device configured to connect to a cable network; and

a plurality of slave power line devices configured to receive the power line network provided by the main power line device,
