Ac1900 (r700) - LAN led is ambar (or red), not white, for Powerline av500. Is it ok ?
I have just purchased a AC1900 (R7000) Nighthawk Netgear router. It is installed and working fine, except tha the LAN Led for the ethernet port that my powerline AV500 is connected is not white. ...
Hi TheEther,
Thank you for the reply, but the tech epec of the AV500 say:
Bridge Performance
MAC addresses: 64
Bandwidth 500 Mbps
Powerline Performance Compatibility:
HomePlug AV, IEEE 1901
Data Transfer Rate: Up to 240 Mbps
Frequency band: 1.8 – 68.5 Mbps
Modulation type: OFDM symbol modulation
So I think it is more than 100 mbps.
May be there is some where a configuration to be ajusted ?
Thank you again,
Paul
What's the exact model number of your adapter? The XWNB5201, for example, is a Powerline AV 500 adapter but it only has a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet port.
The Ether,
My powerline network is:
XAV5201 connected to a XAVN2001v291 (129 Mbps Rx and a 129 Mbps Tx) and to a XWN5001-13 (73 Mbps Rx / 72 Mbps Tx).
I don't know why the XWN has a lower Rx/Tx than the XAVN. Both are set up to up to 300 Mbps.
Thank you again,
Paul
Hi PASBM,
How far is the XWN5001 from the XAV5201? You may need to check the distance between the two powerlines as it will affect the Rx/Tx.
