Troubleshooting NETGEAR's Powerline Products
Powerline products work better when plugged into the wall without power strips, extension cords, surge protectors, or interruptible power supplies.

OK, I figured out how to mix devices fromdifferent manufacturers on the same network.
I used the Netgear XE104 Powerlink Encryption Utility program. It's available for download from the Netgear web site.
It automatically recognizes the "local device(s) on your computer" (in this case it is an Asoka device) and it recognized the Netgear XE104 devices.
I used the "Add" control to add the second Asoka device onto the list. I then used the Rename control and the Password control to assign meaningful names and to ensure I know the passwords for each device.
With all of these adapters talking to each other I now have (1) the 802.11g wireless router supplied by AT&T U-verse covering part of my house, (2) a separate D-Link 802.11n router located at the opposite end of the house connected to a powerline adapter, (3) an apapter connected to a switch that supplies a desktop computer and a network printer, and (4) a spare powerline adapter available to meet future requirements.
BTW, Asoka supplies a utility program also but IMHO it is not as full-featured as the Netgear tool.
