Netgear Powerline XAV1301v2 & Netgear Modem Model A90-620025-20 hookup
I've been trying to connect my Powerline XAV1301v2 unit to a Netgear Modem Mod. #A90-620025-20 that AT&T recently sent me as a replacement. I don't have a router but the label on the Modem says it's ...
An Ethernet Y Adapter usually only allows one piece of equipment to make a connection through the Lan cable at any one time. It cannot be used as a 'splitter' providing an ethernet connection to two pieces of equipment simultaneously (a switch would work in this case).
What else are you trying to connect? If the PC can reach the modem, both the computer and the powerline adapter should be connected to the modem with separate lan cables. The other piece of equipment would then connect to your other powerline adapter
Hope this helps

Hi, Thanks for the response.
I made the connection after finding that the Ethernet cable was in too tight in the Powerline adapter.
I pulled it out till it stopped because of the latch on the cable end and everything was working great.
Then there was a little power outage so I lost the Ethernet again.
What I'm trying to hook up is a Roku streaming box in another room. The reason I chose to use a Powerline adapter is that the room the Computer and Modem is in, has an 8 inch concrete block wall separating the other room.
I hooked up an ActionTec ScreenBeam between the Computer in this room and Television in the living room which is about 25 feet away. It works via WiFi signal and claimes it dosn't need line of site to operate. Because or the thick concreat wall, the signal wouldn't pass through so I had to mount the transmitter in the doorway. So I figure I would have the same problem with a wireless router.
I'm willing to try a router if I don't have a pass though problem.
Would I or wouldn't I have a pass though problem ?
In the mean time I'll keep trying to reset the Powerline adapter and it's security feature and see what happends.
