Understanding PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Passthrough Adapter Security
The PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Passthrough Adapters on the same network must use an identical encryption
key. The default encryption key of each PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Passthrough Adapter is
HomePlugAV
. All
PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Passthrough Adapters with the default encryption key can communicate with each other.
It’s recommended to create a private encryption key for network security purpose. The private encryption key allows you to
protect your network from unauthorized access via the PowerLine network. To create a private encryption key instead of the
default encryption key, please follow the below steps:
1. All Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be configured and make sure each device’s encryption key is set to
HomePlugAV
(default value).
If the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the reset button for 10 seconds to reset it to the default value.
2. First Adapter
Press Simple Connect Button of the first adapter for no more than three seconds.
The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button. The adapter will create a private, randomly generated
encryption key that each PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Passthrough Adapter will use.
