Hi Royalman,

1. What version of NETGEAR Genie did you previously had with your Vista computer?

2. What was the link rate speed did it show you before on your powerline adapters?

Hi Dexter,

After reinstalling Netgear Genie it does recognize XAV1301 V1 and V2. However the V2 upload speed shows as between 25 and 30 Mbps, while the V1 still shows consistent upload speeds of exactly 10Mbps. All the download speeds are in excess of 150Mbps.

My combination of Power Adapters in this final configuration were:

1 off XAVN 2001 V2

3 off XAV 1301 V1

1 off XAV 1301 V2

Thanks

Trefor

    Hi Royalman,
    
    In the option to reply, there should be an option that indicates "Image". It will allow you to attach your screenshot files.
