Powerline 500 Nano XAVB5101

To set up your Powerline network:

1. Make sure that your home router is up and running and that Ethernet wired connections

are working.

2. Install the first Powerline adapter based on the installation instructions that came in the

package.

3. Install the second Powerline adapter, which finds the adapter you just installed. The two

Powerline devices form a Powerline network.

4. Install any additional Powerline adapters that you plan to use.

5. Test to make sure that the computer or peripheral can access the Powerline network.

For example, on a computer, use the Internet. Another way to test this is to install the

Powerline Utility and use it to view all devices on the Powerline network.

6. NETGEAR recommends that you secure your Powerline network from unauthorized access,

especially in settings such as apartment buildings. See Powerline Network Security .

Powerline Network Security

A Powerline network consists of two or more Powerline adapters using the same network

encryption key. Securing your network protects the information you send over the Powerline

network from unwanted access. If you do not set up security on your network, anyone nearby

with a Powerline network can potentially use his or her connection to gain access to your

network and information you send over the Internet. This is especially relevant in settings

such as apartment buildings, office buildings, dorm rooms, and other populated areas.

There are two ways to secure your Powerline network.

• Use the Security button to automatically generate a random encryption key.

• Use the Powerline Utility to specify an encryption key for your Powerline network. If you

already have a Powerline network, you need to use the Powerline Utility, which is located

on your Resource CD. See Chapter 2, Powerline Utility.

• To return the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings, press its Factory Reset

button for 1 second, then release.

Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key

Note: An adapter can generate a private key only once. If you want to

replace a private key, first reset the adapters to their factory settings.

To do this either press the Reset button for 1 second, then release;

or use the Powerline Utility factory defaults feature (see Reset a

Device to Factory Settings on page 15).
