Setting Up Security on a Local HomePlug device

The Privacy tab will allow you to change the Network Password to the unit that is currently connected to this computer. This network password encrypts all data that is sent from this unit using 56-bit data encryption standard (DES), thus creating a secure home network.

**Note** Every unit on your home network MUST have the same Network Password for connectivity to be established throughout your home. The default network password is “HomePlug”.
