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've finally received the Netgear Xavb5501 (500 Mbps) Powerline set.
My problem: 1080p and 720 p streaming is not possible (the picture and/or sound missing/stuttering). The cause is unclear. The xavb5501 advertises a speed of between 197 and 247Mbps rx and tx.
Distance between the 2 powerline adapers is 13 meters and 1 group. Signal is of course better if I put the 2nd adapter (1st is in meters in the closet wnda3700 router) closer. However, this is not possible with regard to placement tv, popcorn, ps3 etc.
The two mitigating factors are:
* Distance to router (wnda3700) is 4 metres.
* The mediaplayer is a Popcorn A110 (100 MB lan).
(In my old setup with a Linksys wrt54gs (100 MB) router, everything wired, it worked fine. This can unfortunately not be done now)
Behind the 2nd powerline is a new Netgear GS605 (Gb) switch. Connected to this switch are the Popcorn A110 and a Sony PS3 (barely used).
PS3 connection is green so gigabit and popcorn light is yellow, and so 10 or 100 Mb. no idea how I can see on the Popcorn?
If someone has ideas....already I connected the desktop to a wired connection via powerline xav5501 number 3 :-)
