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.

I have a Netgear XAV2001 network with 4 units. One unit is connected to my router the others are in various rooms around the house and they are connected to desktop computers. I installed the Netgear Powerline Utility on each of the desktops. When I run the utility on each one I get a different MBPS reading for each device on each version of the Utility on the Device Settings tab. One computer shows everything red (under 50 mbps) another shows everything yellow...and another shows everything green. I like the last one but which one is the right one?
Also there seems to be a lot of fluctuation on the network. I got these units for more stability than a wireless network but instead it varies just as much. When I refresh the utility I almost always get a different reading from the previous readings. Sometimes very little. Sometimes significantly.
