Universal WiFi Extender - Powerline Edition (XAVN2001)
CAUTION:
Do not press the Security button on the Powerline devices until the Power
and Powerline LEDs on each Powerline device are lit solid green. Pressing
the Security button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline
communication. If Powerline communication is disabled, reset the
Powerline device to its factory default settings. (Press the Factory Reset
button for 2 seconds, 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 encryption
key that all other Powerline devices on the network will use.
At this point, the Powerline devices 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 must 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 private 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 can communicate over the Powerline network in a secure way.
