Compatibility PowerLINE 500, 1 Port Adapter(XAV5421)
Hi, Had a query re an old product that i have, the PowerLINE 500, 1 Port Adapter(XAV5421), is this compatible with the NETGEAR PLP1000-100UKS 1 Port, 1000 Mbps, 1 Gigabit Port Powerline Adapter ? ...
A couple things.
1. yes you can use the XAV5421 with the PLP1000. But it'll function at the slowest devices speeds. So the PLP1000 will only function at the speed of the xav5421
2. You'd have to check the standards on the tplink device. Powerline devices use the homeplug standards. If a device is homeplug certified, it'll work (there's different versions). you can view the standards here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug
3. Customer service is only free for the first 90 days of purchase. After that it costs $. Or you can use the community forum (this one). Keep in mind, we're not netgear. We're just people from the public helping out. so you can complain about netgear all you want but whatever happened with customer service, it wasn't us.
