When setting up your powerline network, you can choose between two different high security configurations: High Security Level 1 and High Security Level 2.
• High Security Level 1 is the high security level that is natively implemented in our powerline products. The devices of your powerline network are protected by a default encryption keythat is set up during the manufacturing of the product. This level provides a high security levelthat is suitable for consumer usage of the product. All our powerline products share the same default encryption key, which enables you to use your powerline network right after plugging your devices. And you can also add new powerline devices to your existing STRONG network at any time and without any required configuration.
With High Security Level 1, your powerline network is already highly protected, which ensures that even your neighbour cannot use your connection. How is that possible? To connect to your powerline network, someone must be directly in your flat or in your house. Your powerline network is more secured than any Wi-Fi network as it only uses your existing electrical wires, which completely limits the radiation and the chances to hack your network.
Even if your neighbour is also equipped with the same powerline devices that have the same default encryption key, there is not even a slim chance for them to access your network due to all the signal losses encountered between the two flats/houses. Indeed, the signal must go through the two electrical meters (yours and your neighbour’s) which causes a loss of 20 dB on each side.

• High Security Level 2: Offers you an enhanced security experience by pairing your devices and generating a new unique encryption key for your powerline network. That is why, it is the perfect solution to comply with high security requirements when working from home. This
security level is amazingly easy to configure on your STRONG powerline products as you just
need to press the pairing button on each device for 2 seconds one after the other after installing all your devices. Please make sure that the RJ45 Ethernet connection is working on each device that you want to pair to avoid that your powerline devices switch to standby mode.
Moreover, your devices not only use one of two high security levels defined above, but their communication is also highly secured by the 128-BIT AES data encryption.
In other words, if you want a high performant, stable and reliable network, you can use our powerline products with their high security levels. The only decision you must make is if you will go with High Security Level 1 or configure High Security Level 2, which is up to you!
