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
Reset
button for 1
second, then release, or use the NETGEAR genie factory defaults
feature (see
Reset a Device to Factory Settings
on page 34).
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.
CAUTION:
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
Reset
button for 1 second, then
release).
