Replace AV200 adapter XAV2001
The XAV 2001 ADAPTER no longer runs but the XAVN2001 N-Extender still works. Which new models are compatible with my existing XAVN2001 N-Extender?
Thanks for any help.:)

AV200 is an IEEE industry standard. You can mix and match different speeds and brands.
I have done this, but if you want to be able to use them with the same controlling software and "genies", it is easier to stick to the same brand.
One problem is that Netgear, and other makers, like to sell these things in pairs. So it isn't easy to buy a "singleton".
Be warned that a mixture of plugs will default to communicating with one another over the mains at the speed of the slowest plugs on the network. So, add AV 1000 plugs to AV 500 plugs and you will get AV 500 speeds.

You may find it hard to get AV200 plugs. That is older generation. Even AV500 is behind the curve.
