Hi Dexter,

So - I quick update.

1. Powerline Utility. Installed V3.1.0.4. The latest. Works fine with my XAVB1301 V1 Powerline Adapters. Both upload and download speeds in excess of 150 Mbps for all Adapters. Replaced one of the V1 Adapters with a XAVB1301 V2 Adaper. Set up the security. Connected it all up. But the Powerline Utility does not recognise it. The Powerline Utility only seems to recognise V1 Adapters.But I know the Adapter is working because it was connected to an Internet radio on which I could hear an Internet radio station. I get the impression that Netgear are no longer upgrading the Powerline Utility? Is that correct?

 

2. So it's back Netgear Genie which I then re-installed (V2.4.12). Though not the latest, the posts seem to indicate this is the one to use for Windows 10. But all the upload speeds showing as just 10Mbps.

 

So any ideas on why this might be the case.

Thanks
