NETGEAR power line adaptors
I am hoping to set up some powerline adaptors in my home in UK. I need 1 x adapter for the router into the downstairs ring, 1 x adaptor for the downstairs smart tv preferably ethernet or at least...
Thanks that is most helpful. It looks like I will either go the whole hog and get 1200s or be a bit of a cheap skate and go partway and get an AV500 wifi one. What I really want is 2 ethernets, one to router and one to TV and 2 wifi, one for Amazon fire thingy in the kitchen and one for upstairs. I bought some BT AV 600s and they just do not work with the Netear sufff at all it is really annoying.

That's odd. They should work. I have married different makes with Netgear plugs.
The problem is that the software that different makers supply may not see "competing" kit.
Thanks for that I really am most grateful.
Is there any way to get the utility to recognise the BT ones?
Jeremy
You should he able to use the standard "button presses" to marry the BT plugs to the Netgear one. But there is generic software out there that may see the different plugs. After all, they usually buy in their chipsets from one of the usual suspects.
Does BT supply anything?
Have you thought of visiting the BT Forum? There may be people there who know more about its hardware.
trying BT support now but been on wait for 20 minutes. Have collaped the entire system now at home so a bit miserable. fortunately the mac is attached to the router by ethernet cable!
