What kind of CPL/Wifi model is compatible with CPL 500 (XAVB5401) ?

Hi everyone,

I bought the pack of 2 adapters CPL 500 (model XAVB5401) with outlet and it works very well!


Now I need an additional adapter to extend the wifi in the garage of my house. I would like do that with a cpl/wifi device.

So my question is: what kind of model do I have to buy?

 

Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Your current kit is HomeplugAV compliant.  So any model that is HomeplugAV or HomeplugAV2 compliant (as these are backwards compatible) will work with the XAVB5401's

     

    Hope this helps

      Hi Clithes and thanks for your answer.

      I have a network with 2 CPL 500 (XAVB5401) adapters.

      Then I bought the wi-fi CPL 500 XWNB5201 (XWN 5001 and XAV5201).

      When I connect the XWNB5201 the XAVB5401 stop running. What can I do to make both running please ?

       

      Thanks in advance for helping me.

      Best regards

        Hi DonaldLaborde,

        Try to reset all the adapters and reconfigure them.
