- This could be a compatibility issue. Please check the link below. They might be running on a different technology and most NETGEAR powerlines is only compatible with NETGEAR powerlines.

- One of the issues would type of rocket fish power line is if you have some power line devices that support home plug 2.0 protocol it will not work with home plug 1.0 protocol like XET supports
