Connect other Ethernet PowerLine Adapters  
1. Before plugging in your other PowerLine devices, take a note of the device password printed  
on the label on the back of each device. You will need this password later if you want to  
change the PowerLine network password. If you are adding more than one other PowerLine  
adapter, also note the MAC address given on the label, so that you will know which device the  
password is for.  
2. Plug your other PowerLine devices into power outlets in your home near to the other  
computers and peripherals to be included in your PowerLine local area network.  
3. Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on each of the computers and peripherals to  
the nearest PowerLine device.  
4. When you plug in a second PowerLine adapter into a power outlet, check the blue HomePlug  
LEDs. They should turn on and then briefly blink at the same time as the Ethernet activity  
LED.  
This completes the PowerLine installation.  
Install the XET1001 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 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 adapter device.

To install the PowerLine Encryption Utility, follow these steps:  
1. Insert the Resource CD into a CD drive on the computer that is connected to your router1. The  
CD starts automatically. The following screen is displayed:  
Figure 8  
If the CD does not start automatically:  
Go to My Computer on the Windows Start menu, and double-click the drive that contains  
the Resource CD or  
Select the CD drive and click on the Autorun.exe executable file.  
1. All devices on a PowerLine network can be managed from one computer. If you add another XET1001  
device to an existing PowerLine network, you can install the PowerLine encryption utility on the computer  
connected locally to the new XET1001 device or on the computer originally used to set up the PowerLine  
network password. You can use any computer to manage the network, but this procedure assumes that you are  
working from the computer that is connected to your router.

Set Your Network Password  
The fastest and most reliable way to set the network password is to set the password for all devices  
at once. To do this, you need the device password on the back label of each PowerLine device.  
There are two steps to setting the password: first enter the device password for each remote  
PowerLine device, and then set the network password.  
1. Enter the device password for each remote PowerLine device:  
a. Make sure that all PowerLine devices are plugged into 100~240V AC wall sockets.  
b. Start the PowerLine encryption utility and click the Main tab.  
Figure 13  
c. Check that the utility lists all the remote PowerLine devices  
d. Select a PowerLine device and, if more than one remote device is listed, identify it from  
the MAC address.

Add a Device to an Existing PowerLine Network  
To add a device to a PowerLine network with the default network password, all you need to do is  
plug the new device into a power outlet.  
If the network password has been set, then you will need to run the PowerLine encryption utility to  
set the new device to the network password. How you do this depends on whether the computer  
running the PowerLine encryption utility is connnected directly to the new PowerLine device  
(local) or is connected to a different device in the PowerLine network (remote).  
Adding a New Device from a Locally Connected Computer  
1. Plug the new PowerLine device into an available AC power outlet and connect it to an  
Ethernet port on the computer.  
2. Start the PowerLine encryption utility and select the Security tab.  
3. Type the network password in the Private Network Password text box and click Set Local  
Device Only.  
4. Select the Main tab and check that the other devices in the PowerLine network appear in the  
device list. It may take a minute or two for all devices in the network to be detected.  
Adding a New Device from a Remotely Connected Computer  
1. Note the device password given on the label on the back of the new PowerLine device.  
2. Plug the new PowerLine device into an AC power outlet.  
3. Start the PowerLine encryption utility on the remote computer and select the Security tab.  
4. Click Use Default (Public Network). The password in the Private Network Password text box  
changes to the default password, HomePlug.  
5. Click Set All Devices.  
6. Select the Main tab and wait for the new PowerLine device to be listed.  
7. Select the new PowerLine device from the device list, and click Enter Password.

Basic Functioning  
After you plug in the PowerLine adapter, the following sequence of events should occur:  
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power light is on.  
2. After approximately 10 seconds, check the LEDs on the PowerLine adapter. The following  
should occur:  
a. The power LED is solid green.  
b. The blue HomePlug LED is lit.  
c. The Ethernet LED blinks.  
If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the appropriate following section.  
Power Light Not On  
Make sure that, if power to the AC power outlet is controlled by a wall switch, the wall switch is in  
the on position.  
Verify that the wall socket is live. To do this, disconnect the PowerLine adapter and plug in another  
electrical product, such as a lamp or a hairdryer.  
15  
v1.0, January 2008  
 
     
XET1001 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Adapter User Guide  
If the Power LED still does not come on, and you have confirmed the power outlet is live, you  
have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.  
HomePlug Light Not On  
If the power light is on but the HomePlug light is not, check the following:  
Make sure that power is being provided to more than one PowerLine device. Another  
PowerLine device must be installed for successful communication across the PowerLine.  
Verify that the network password is the same on all devices in the PowerLine network.  
Ethernet Light is Off  
Make sure that the Ethernet cable is plugged in properly at both ends.  
Be sure that you are using the correct cable on the router that the first PowerLine adapter is  
connected to. When connecting the router’s Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the  
cable that was supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable could be a standard straight-  
through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.  
On the attached Ethernet device or network adapter card, check that the Link light is on.
