How many pairs of XAVB1601 adapers can be installed on one home electrical circuit, where each pair is point to point link ?
Why cannot be more downloaded power utility: netgear.com/app/products/model/a-ice/19339 ?
Hello Schumaku,
You have been very inaccurately dealing with definitions about various layers. How encryption can be related to layer L2 ?
Data Presentation and Encryption is related always to layer L6.
Yes, I agree that all PL devices are connected to a shared media - copper electrical circuit (L0).
My intention is just to have 3 pairs of PL devices sitting on same shared media where each pair will have own unique encrypted
password. Perhaps, I will turn on as well as a support of QoS if I feel my applications will get a certain improvement with that.

Not sure that I understand the question. Point-to-point link?
The usual arrangement is to connect one (host) plug to the router and then add as many remote (guest) plugs as you need.
Some models seem to throw a hissy fit when you add a sixth guest plug.
The XAVB1601 is an ancient (2012) 200 Mbps system, now replaced by 500 then 1000 and finally (so far) 2000 Mbps plugs.
Thanks for response but you have not answered my question.
First of all let's clarify topology of connections or layout scheme. You mentioned "star" topology where a master PL device talks to a number
of remote PL devices. I am interested in 3 PL device pairs where each pair establishes topology: single poin-to-point link, however all 6 PL devices are on one electrical circuit. Will these XAVB1601 devices work without interefering between these three data links?
Regards
All PL share the same L0/L1 network, where L2 (MAC) and L3 (e.g. IP) is run on. There is neither a "master" not a point-to-point relation. Each PL does see any other PL device on the same electrical wire(s). The PL with the same name are able to communicate.
