Install the XEPS103 PowerLine Encryption Utility
(Highly Recommended)The utility gives you the option of setting a unique encryption PowerLine network password.
Important features:
- The encryption password is not case-sensitive.
- Each device must be set to exactly the same encryption password-if they are to communicate on the same network. PowerLine devices on different networks will not be able to communicate.
- A default button resets the encryption password to the default password (HomePlug).
- The encryption password can protect your network from unauthorized access through the PowerLine network.
- A device password is printed on each NETGEAR PowerLine product. This is not the network password, but you are required to enter it if you are setting the network password with another Powerline extender device.
To install the PowerLine Encryption Utility, follow these steps:
- Click Install Encryption Utility. A dialog will give you the choice between installing from the CD, or checking for an upgrade. If you click the Check for Upgrade button, the CD software will check a Netgear server for a newer version of the utility. If found, the newer version will be downloaded and run. If the utility on the CD is up-to-date, or you click the Install from CD button, the setup program on the CD will be run.
- Click Next and follow the instructions on the screen until the installation of the utility is complete.
- When the installation is complete, click Finish.
