Figure 3. Powerline network with two Powerline adapters
For best performance, plan the location of your Powerline devices (to make a Powerline
network, you need at least two Powerline devices):
•
•
•
Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid someone
unknowingly turning off the power to the outlet.
Do not plug in Powerline products to a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector as
this might prevent them from working correctly, or reduce the network performance.
Avoid plugging Powerline products into electrical outlets located near an appliance that
uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, or a refrigerator. This could potentially
prevent the adapters from working correctly, or reduce network performance.
Different Powerline adapter models can share the network. All Powerline NETGEAR AV
products (models XAV101, XAV1004, XAV2001, XAV2501, and XAVN2001) are compatible.

To set up your Powerline network:
1. Make sure that your home router is up and running and that Ethernet wired connections
are working.
2. Install the first Powerline adapter based on the installation instructions that came in the
package.
3. Install the second Powerline adapter, which finds the adapter you just installed. The two
Powerline devices form a Powerline network.
4. Install any additional Powerline adapters that you plan to use.
5. Test to make sure that the computer or peripheral can access the Powerline network.
For example, on a computer, use the Internet. Another way to test this is to install the
Powerline Utility and use it to view all devices on the Powerline network.
6. NETGEAR recommends that you secure your Powerline network from unauthorized access,
Powerline Network Security
A Powerline network consists of two or more Powerline adapters using the same network
encryption key. Securing your network protects the information you send over the Powerline
network from unwanted access. If you do not set up security on your network, anyone nearby
with a Powerline network can potentially use his or her connection to gain access to your
network and information you send over the Internet. This is especially relevant in settings
such as apartment buildings, office buildings, dorm rooms, and other populated areas.
There are two ways to secure your Powerline network.
•
•
Use the Security button to automatically generate a random encryption key.
Use the Powerline Utility to specify an encryption key for your Powerline network. If you
already have a Powerline network, you need to use the Powerline Utility, which is located
•
To return the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings, press its Factory Reset
button for 1 second, then release.
Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key
Note: An adapter can generate a private key only once. If you want to
replace a private key, first reset the adapters to their factory settings.
To do this either press the Reset button for 1 second, then release;
or use the Powerline Utility factory defaults feature (see Reset a

You can use the security button to change the default encryption key and set a private
encryption key instead. The default encryption key is HomePlugAV.
1. Verify that all the Powerline adapters to be configured are plugged in.
WARNING!
Do not press the Security button on the Powerline adapter until
installation is complete and all adapters on your network are
plugged in and communicating with each other. Pressing the
Security button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline
communication. If this should occur, reset the Powerline adapter
to its factory default settings (press the Reset button for 1 second,
then release).
2. Press the Powerline adapter Security button for 2 seconds.
•
•
The Power LED starts blinking after you release the button.
The adapter automatically creates a new, randomly generated network encryption key
that each Powerline adapter on the network will use.
At this point, the other adapters in your network cannot communicate with each other.
3. Within 2 minutes of pressing the Security button on the Powerline adapter, press the
security button on the second adapter for 2 seconds.
In order to pair the devices, you need to press both buttons within 2 minutes.
This securely configures your Powerline network with the same network encryption key.
4. If your network has more than two adapters, press the Security button on the next adapter
for 2 seconds, then push the Security button on any additional adapters in your network for
2 seconds. The adapters retain security settings even if they are unplugged.

Set the Powerline Encryption Key
Powerline devices that share the same Powerline network have to use the same encryption
key. The factory default encryption key is HomePlugAV.
In locations such as apartment buildings or office buildings, others might share 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 exactly 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 Powerline Utility to set encryption keys. If you customize

Set Up Quality of Service (QoS)
The Quality of Service (QoS) feature helps you prioritize your Powerline network traffic. By
default, all types of traffic on the Powerline network are assigned the same priority. For most
applications, this works fine. However, there are situations where performance improves if
you assign a higher priority to certain types of traffic, such as multimedia files.
If your network traffic is a mix of multimedia traffic and document and database traffic you
might want to give priority to a particular traffic type. If it is important that your multimedia
playback is smooth, even while document files are being transferred over the network, then
give priority to multimedia traffic. Conversely, if it is more important for your network to be
