Changing Your Network Password for All Devices At Once
The Advanced Window allows you to change the network password for all of your devices (direct
connected and remote) at the same time. This is a much faster and more reliable method of
changing the password for devices attached to your network.
Go to the Advanced Tab in the Powerline Encryption Utility dialog box.
There are two general steps:
1.
Add devices to the "Remote Passwords" list.
a.
Verify that you have an XE102 Powerline Adapter connected as shown above.
b.
Locate all of the adapters that you want on your network and record the device
password (PWD: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) as indicated in the previous section.
c.
Plug all powerline adapters into a 110 V AC wall socket.
d.
Open the "Advanced Screen."
e.
Enter the device password number into the "Device Password" text.
f.
Select Add.
g.
Repeat this step for all devices that you want attached to your network.
Note: You do not need to perform this step for the powerline adapter attached directly to
your computer. Any powerline adapter connected directly to your computer will
automatically be changed.
2.
Change the Network Password for those devices you selected in the list.
a.
Hi-light all the devices you want on one particular network.
b.
Type a new or existing password in the "Network Password" text box.
c.
Click Set All.

Note: If you get the following screen while attempting to execute the NETGEAR Powerline
Encryption Utility there is
one very basic explanation:
Either your old device is
not compatible, or your
XE102 is not powered on
or plugged in.
Other Windows in Encryption Utility Dialog Box
Device Screen:
The "Device" Screen displays information
about all Powerline devices attached directly
to your PC.
Network Screen:
The "Network" Screen shows information
about all "remote" Powerline devices attached
(and detected) across your powerline network.
Note: Devices setup on a different network
will NOT show on this list. Units with a
different password are considered to be on
different networks.
