Understanding PowerLine AV+ 3-Port Passthrough Adapter Security
The PowerLine AV+ 3-Port Passthrough Adapters must use the same encryption key in order to be on the same network.
The default encryption key of each PowerLine AV+ 3-Port Passthrough Adapter is HomePlug AV. All PowerLine AV+ 3-Port
Passthrough Adapters with default encryption key can communicate with each other.
It's recommended to create a private encryption key for network security purposes. The private encryption key allows you to
protect your network from unauthorized access via the Powerline network. To create a private encryption key, please follow
below steps:
1. All Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be configured and make sure each device's encryption key is set to HomePlug AV (default value). If
the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the Simple connect button for 10 seconds to reset it to the default value.
2. First Adapter
Press the Simple connect button of the first adapter for no more than three seconds.
The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button. The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption
key that each PowerLine AV+ 3-Port Passthrough Adapter will use.
