Powerline Network Security
A Powerline network consists of two or more Powerline devices using the same network
encryption key. Securing your network is crucial. By encrypting the information you send over
the Powerline network, you help to keep it secure from hackers. 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 more populated areas.
You can secure your Powerline network in two ways.
• Use
the Security button on the Powerline device to automatically generate a random
encryption key. See Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key on p
age 17.
• Use th
e NETGEAR genie to configure your Powerline network with an encryption key that
you specify. See Install NETGEAR genie o
n page 20.
