LEDs

The LEDs light up when the adapter is plugged in to an electrical outlet. The following table

describes the LEDs.

Table 1.

LED Description

Power • Solid green. The electrical power is on.

• Blinking green. The adapter is restarting or setting up security.

• Amber.Power saving mode.

• Off. There is no electrical power.

Powerline • Solid. The adapter is connected to a Powerline network.

• Blinking. The adapter is sending or receiving data.

• Off. The adapter has not found any other compatible Powerline devices using the same

encryption key.

The Pick A Plug feature lets you pick the electrical outlet with the strongest link rate,

indicated by the color displayed by the LED:

Green:

Link rate > 80 Mbps (best) Amber:

Link rate > 50 and < 80 Mbps

(better)

Red:

Link rate < 50 Mbps (good)

Ethernet • Solid. The Ethernet port is linked, but there is no activity.

• Blinking. There is traffic on the Ethernet port.

• Off. There is no Ethernet connection.

Gigabit Ethernet Port

Plug one end of the Ethernet cable that comes with the Powerline Adapter into this port and

the other end either into your router, or into the computer or other peripheral device.

Buttons

Two buttons are located on the sides of the adapter:

• Security. After you plug in your new AV adapters, press the Security button for 2

seconds on both of the AV adapters. Both buttons must be pressed within 2 minutes.

The Security button does not work in power saving mode. The unit enters power saving

mode if the Ethernet port is idle (not linked) for more than 10 minutes.

• Reset. Press the Reset button for 1 second, then release to return the Powerline adapter

to its factory default settings.

Product Label

The product label shows unique details specific to your adapter. The product label is located

on the back of the adapter. The label contains the following information.

• Model number

• MAC address

• Device password

• Serial number

Powerline Adapter in a Home Network

You can use Powerline Adapters to extend your Ethernet network anywhere in your home

using your existing electrical power lines.

Here, an Ethernet cable connects the

router to the Powerline network. In another room, an Ethernet cable connects

a gaming console to the Powerline network.

Powerline communication

You can plug a power

strip into the filtered

outlet, but do not plug

your Powerline adapter

The filtered AC socket

removes some

electrical noise.

Getting Started

Powerline AV+ 500 Nano XAV5601

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, XAV2101, XAV2501, XAV2602, XAV5001,

XAV5501, 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,

especially in settings such as apartment buildings. See Powerline Network Security .

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

on your Resource CD. See Chapter 2, Powerline Utility.

Getting Started

Powerline AV+ 500 Nano XAV5601

• 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

Device to Factory Settings on page 15).

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.

To set the encryption key with the Security button:

1. Verify that all the Powerline adapters to be configured are plugged in.

CAUTION:

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.

2. Powerline Utility

This chapter explains how to install and use the Powerline Utility. The Powerline Utility works

with many Powerline AV products. NETGEAR Powerline models XAV1004, XAV2001, and

XAVN2001 are compatible and can share the same Powerline network.

You can use the Powerline Utility to access a local Powerline device that is connected to your

computer with an Ethernet cable and also to access remote Powerline devices. Remote devices

are on the Powerline network, but are not directly cabled to the computer on which you are using

the Powerline Utility.

You can use the NETGEAR Powerline Utility to:

• Change the name of a Powerline device

• Turn LEDs on or off

• Set encryption keys

• Set up Quality of Service (QoS)

• Restore a device to default configuration settings

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Install the Powerline Utility

• Powerline Utility Screen

• Change the Name of a Powerline Device

• Turn LEDs Off or On

• Set the Powerline Encryption Key

• Reset a Device to Factory Settings

• Add a Device to a Powerline Network

• Set Up Quality of Service (QoS)
