Accessing Web gui on PL1000
I have two PL1000s paired and working. Internet is going through it fine. Now I would like to access the devices via the web interface. However I can't seem to find what the IP of the devices are. And the Powerline utility that works with the older devices does not work with these.
I've read the product manuals. I've searched Google and these forums.
I give up.
How are these things managed other than "they just automatically work"?
(Bad documentation, Netgear. Shame!)

Try using the desktop genie for your operating system. This has a network map that will show the attached devices.
You router's browser interface should also show this information.
Don't be surprised if the IP address doesn't get you anywhere.
Oh, and Zyxel's Powerline utility may be more useful than Netgear's.
