Set the Powerline Encryption Key
Powerline devices on the same Powerline network use the same encryption key. The factory
default encryption key is HomePlugAV.
In locations such as apartment buildings or office buildings, other people might use the same
electrical power lines that you use for your Powerline network. To protect your Powerline
network from unwanted access, you can use NETGEAR genie to set a private encryption key
for your Powerline devices. Make sure that all of your Powerline devices use the same
encryption key so that they can communicate with each other.
If you forget your private encryption key, you can reset the encryption key to the factory
default key, HomePlugAV. See
