If you cannot connect wirelessly to the NBG318S, check you have selected 
the correct SSID and entered the correct security Key. If that does not 
work, ensure your network adapter is enabled by clicking on the wireless 
adapter icon and clicking Enable. See the User’s Guide for more 
suggestions.

Use the ENCRYPT button to set up a secure connection between your NBG318S and 
another HomePlug AV product with an ENCRYPT button (The PLA-400 v2 is shown below as 
an example). Connect each powerline device one at a time.

1 Place the products close to each other, so you have time to set up each one. After you 

press ENCRYPT on the first device, you have 120 seconds to press ENCRYPT on the 
second one. 

• You can disconnect them from the computer or modem (or other networking product) if you 

need to, but the devices need to be plugged into power outlets.

2 Press the ENCRYPT button at the rear of both of your devices for more than 10 

seconds. This sets up a random network name.

3 Press the ENCRYPT button at the rear of your device for 1~2 seconds. 

4 Repeat step 

 in this section for the other device you wish to connect. This must be 

done within 120 seconds of pressing the ENCRYPT button on the first device.

5 Wait for roughly one minute while your devices connect. The HomePlug (

) lights on 

both devices light up when the connection is successful.
