Understanding PowerLine AV2 2000 Gigabit Adapter Security
The PowerLine AV2 2000 Gigabit Adapters on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption
key of each PowerLine AV2 2000 Gigabit Adapter is HomePlugAV. All PowerLine AV2 2000 Gigabit Adapters with the default
encryption key can communicate with each other.
It’s recommended to create a private encryption key for network security purpose. The private encryption key allows you to
protect your network from unauthorized access via the PowerLine network. To create a private encryption key instead of the
default encryption key, please follow the steps below:
1. All Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be congured. Each device’s encryption key should be set to HomePlugAV (default value). If devices
do not connect the encryption key may not be set to the default value, press the reset button for 5 seconds to reset it to the
default value.
2. First Adapter
Press the Simple Connect Button on the rst adapter for no more than three seconds.
The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption
key that each PowerLine AV2 2000 Gigabit Adapter will use.

3. Second Adapter
Within two minutes of pushing the Simple Connect Button on the rst adapter, press the Simple Connect Button on the second
adapter in your PowerLine network for no more than three seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release the
button.
Note: Both Simple Connect Buttons must be pressed within two minutes.
After the above network security setup steps, your PowerLine network will be securely congured with the same network
encryption key. The adapters will memorize the security settings even if they are unplugged.
Note: To change the private encryption key, please reset the adapter back to its default value by pressing the reset button for
5 seconds and then follow the security setup procedure above.
4. Adding More Adapters
If you would like to add more than two adapters, press the Simple Connect Button of the additional adapter for no more than
three seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.
Then press the Simple Connect Button of any adapter in your existing PowerLine network for no more than three seconds.The
Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.
Note: Both Simple Connect Buttons must be pressed within two minutes.
After the above network security setup steps, your PowerLine network will be securely congured with the same network
encryption key.
