Powerline 500 WiFi Access Point (XWN5001)
Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key
Note: A Powerline device can generate a private key only once. If you
want to replace a private key, first reset the Powerline devices to
their factory settings. To do this either press the Factory Reset
button for 1 second, then release it, or use the NETGEAR genie
factory defaults feature (see
Reset a Device to Factory Settings on
page 27).
You can use the Security button to change the default encryption key and set a private
encryption key instead. The default encryption key is HomePlugAV.
To set the encryption key:
1. Make sure that all of the Powerline devices that you want to configure are plugged in.
Verify that the Power and Powerline LEDs on each device are lit solid green.
Do not press the Security button on the Powerline device until the Power
and Powerline LEDs on each Powerline device in your network are lit solid
green. Pressing the Security button too soon can temporarily disable
Powerline communication. If this should occur, reset the Powerline device
to its factory default settings (press the Factory Reset button for 1
second, then release it).
2. Press the Security button on the first Powerline device for 2 seconds.
• The Power LED starts blinking after you release the button.
• The Powerline device automatically creates a new, randomly generated network
encryption key that all other Powerline devices on the network will use.
At this point, the other Powerline devices in your network cannot communicate with each
other.
3. Within 2 minutes of pressing the Security button on the first Powerline device, press the
Security button on the second Powerline device for 2 seconds. You need to press both
Security buttons within 2 minutes.
• The Power LED starts blinking after you release the button.
• This process allows the second Powerline device to use the same network encryption
key as the first device, so that they can communicate.
When the Power LEDs stop blinking and the Powerline LEDs are lit solid green, the two
devices should be able to communicate.
