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.
