Understanding Powerline Network Security
A Powerline network consists of two or more Powerline adapters using the same network 
encryption key. Securing your network is crucial. By encrypting the information you send over 
the Powerline XAV5501 Adapter, you help to keep it secure from hackers. If you do not set up 
security on your network, anyone nearby with a Powerline network can potentially use their 
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 more populated areas. 
Powerline devices connected to the same network must use an identical encryption key. The 
security used by Powerline XAV5501 Adapters is similar to the SSID and encryption keys 
used in wireless networks, but you do not need software to configure Powerline XAV5501 
Adapters. 
There are two ways to secure your Powerline network. 
•     
Use the Security button located on the Powerline adapter to automatically generate a 
.
•     
Use the XAV5501 Powerline Utility to configure your Powerline network with an 
encryption key that you specify. If you are already using Powerline or HomePlug devices 
then you will need to use the Powerline Utility. If not already installed, the Powerline Utility 
should be installed on your computer. See

For information about using the XAV5501 Powerline Utility to configure Powerline security 
or to prioritize Powerline network traffic using the Quality of Service (QoS) feature, see

Set the Encryption Key
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.
Note:  
Before you change the Encryption key, you need to install the 
Powerline adapters and get them up and running. Otherwise, they 
might not be able to communicate with each other.
