Connect Liveplug HD+ 200 with Netgear XAV2602/1601

Hello,

I finally succeeded to fix the problem myself. I'll give my solution here if it can interest someone.

1) Download these softwares :

-Netgear Powerline Utility (NPU) : Download link

-Devolo Cockpit : Download link

2) Write down the security codes that are behind all PLC devices. You will need them.

3) I found that both brands (Orange and Netgear) can be configured with these 2 softwares. Once both softwares are installed, you need to create the home network with 2 PLC devices of the same brand (the 2 orange or the 2 netgear). I connected my livebox and my PC like that. Make sure the connexion is working properly.

4) Add a third PLC device (for my Xbox, in my case) on your network. Open Devolo Cockpit software. It should display the previous 2 PLC devices in your home network. If it is a Devolo or Orange PLC brand, its name should be written on it or it will be blank if it is another brand (like Netgear) but it should work the same way. Click on "add a device" then on "add a device with its security code". Enter the security code of the third PLC device you just added.

5) Open Netgear Poweline Utility. Right click on any of device and click "Security". Make sure all 3 PLC devices are checked. Then check "Use the default encryption key : HomePlug AV". Click on "apply to selected devices". It may asks you to give the security passwords of some devices in your home network. If you correctly wrote them down, type them down in the right box and accept.

The 3 PLC devices should be working together now, even if they are from different brand.

I tried to be the more precise I can, but if it doesn't work for you don't hesitate to tell me, I will help you (don't hesitate to create an account for this, that's what I did for my problem).  can explain to you in english (the best I can, it's not my mother language) or in french.
