Secure Your Powerline Network - NETGEAR XAV2602 Installation Manual

Secure Your Powerline Network

A Powerline network forms when at least two compatible Powerline
devices communicate. After the Powerline network is up and running,
you can use the Security buttons on the adapters to add encryption to
your Powerline network.
CAUTION: Do not press the Security button until each adapter has
powered up and its Power LED is solid green. Pressing this
button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline
communication. If this occurs, use the Factory Reset button
to return the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings.
To secure your Powerline network:
1. Make sure the Power LED is solid green. If it is amber, connect
a device to one of the Ethernet ports so the adapter exits power
saving mode.
2. On the first Powerline adapter, press its Security button for 2
seconds and release the button. The Power LED blinks green
while the adapter is setting up security.
3. Within 2 minutes, go to the next Powerline adapter and press its
Security button for 2 seconds and release the button.
After security is set, the Power LED turns solid green. The
adapter can communicate over the network. The Powerline LED
is blinking or solid.
