Power line compatability

Hello, 

 

I own the model quoted, I currently have 2, input and output.

 

I'm looking to expand my powerline net work, I dont know where to find a compatability list for my current set up.

 

Is anyone able to provide me with the location of a list or the list please.

 

  • You can mix/match powerline adapters (even between manufacturers) provided the follow the same standard. The XAV2001 was a homeplug AV1 device. You can use homeplug av2 devices with it but they're going to operate at the slowest devices speeds. Which for the xav2001 is a 200mbps device.
