v2.0, January 2009
4. Wait up to 80 seconds for each Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter to be recognized by the
Powerline network.
The Power, Ethernet, and Powerline lights should turn on. For details about how the lights
work, see Table 1-1 on page 1-3.
5. Make sure that each computer connected to a Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter can use the
Powerline network. For example, access the Internet from a remote computer. If there is a
problem, see “Basic Functioning” on page 3-1.
NETGEAR recommends that you secure your Powerline network from unauthorized access. This
is especially relevant in settings like apartment buildings. See the following section,
“Understanding Powerline Network Security.
Understanding Powerline Network Security
Powerline devices on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The Powerline AV
Ethernet Adapter default encrypted password is HomePlugAV. If you do not set up security,
anyone nearby with a Powerline network can use this to gain access to your network. Use the
Security button on the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter to change the Powerline encryption key.
Encryption of the information you send over the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter helps keep it
secure. This is especially relevant in settings like apartment buildings.
A Powerline network consists of Powerline adapters with the same network encryption key. The
security used by Powerline AV Ethernet Adapters is similar to the SSID and encryption keys used
in wireless networks, but you do not need software to configure your Powerline AV Ethernet
Adapters.
There are two ways to secure your Powerline network.
Use the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Security buttons to automatically generate an
encryption keys. See the following section, “Using the Security Button to Change the Default
Encryption Key in Your Network.”
Note: If you need to return the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter to its factory default
settings, use the Reset button or the NETGEAR XAV101 Configuration Utility on
your Resource CD.
