Install the XE104 PowerLine Encryption Utility (Highly Recommended)

The utility provides you with the option of setting your own unique encryption PowerLine network password.

Important features:

•The encryption password is case sensitive.

•Each device must be set to exactly the same encryption password—if they are to communicate on the same network. PowerLine devices on different networks will not be able to communicate.

•A default button allows you to reset the encryption password to the default password (HomePlug).

•The encryption password allows you to protect your network from unauthorized access via the PowerLine network.

•A device password is printed on each NETGEAR PowerLine product. This is not the network password, but you are required to enter it if you are setting the network password via another PowerLine switch device.
