Set the Powerline Encryption Key

Powerline devices on the same Powerline network must use the same encryption key. The
factory default encryption key is HomePlugAV.
In locations such as apartment buildings or office buildings, others might use the same
electrical power lines that you use for your Powerline network. To protect your Powerline
network from unwanted access, you can customize the encryption key for your Powerline
devices. Make sure that you set up the same encryption key for all of your Powerline devices
so that they can communicate with each other.
You use the Security screen in the NETGEAR genie Powerline Utility to set encryption keys.
If you customize the encryption key and then forget what it is, you can return your Powerline
devices to their factory default Powerline encryption key of HomePlugAV.
