Does Powerline require security ?

[jeff_net]

Hi,
I want to extend my wireless network range for one particular roku box.
I have a WNR3500 router. Security is disabled and in place of it I use a mac access list. Will the Powerline products work without security enabled?
Given my router model, what would be the best Powerline for me?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Access list is not security.. It's way to control, easy to be hacked

If you dont secure your power line it can also be security issues,


Suggest to secure both and use encryption for your wireless

Any power line device will work , matter of feature, prices etc
