Hur väljer man rätt konfiguration med hög säkerhetsnivå för sitt Powerline-nätverk?

När du konfigurerar ditt Powerline-nätverk kan du välja mellan två olika konfigurationer med hög säkerhet: Hög säkerhetsnivå 1 och Hög säkerhetsnivå 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 key that is set up during the manufacturing of the product. This level provides a high level of security that 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 in your devices. You can also add new powerline devices to your existing STRONG network at any time, without any 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 house. Your powerline network is more secure than any Wi-Fi network as it only uses your existing electrical wires, which completely limits radiation and the chances of your network being hacked. 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 easy to configure on your STRONG powerline products: 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 prevent your powerline devices from switching to standby mode.

Moreover, your devices not only use one of the two high security levels defined above, their communication is also secured by 128-bit AES data encryption. In other words, if you want a high-performance, stable and reliable network, you can use our powerline products with their high security levels. The only decision you must make is whether to go with High Security Level 1 or configure High Security Level 2, which is up to you!
