I really like the speed of my Powerline network but the XAV101s are not allowing iTunes sharing. I have my iTunes Library on my iMac office computer and try to stream iTunes to my MacBook laptop in the den...When I am in wireless mode the wireless network allows this (but the connection is poor thus the Powerline) when I switch to the Powerline the shared Library disappears from iTunes. Of course, the XAV101 utility for some reason won't launch in Snow Leopard and the XAV101 firmware cant be updated on a Mac as the firmware update aplication is PC only. Can anyone assist me in how to get iTunes sharing back?

yes, but what can I do to get iTunes sharing working?

whole scenario is confusing but when mac is wired behind the XAV101, it will not able to stream from the Mac that is behind router?

are you saying there is no way iTunes streams via Powerline? Can I get someone at Netgear to confirm that...is there an email I can write to with this problem? Anyone else on the forums or other discussion here has this problem? Seems like given the fact many people stream audio via iTunes it would be commonly known but I've done a search and cant find it. Other Internet streaming works great.

I am having the same problem as well. I have raised this with support and the response I have had so far is

"if you are able to connect to internet using the power line adapters and not able to connect to Itunes, means that there is no problem with the power line adapter"

Has anyone else found a resolution to this issue?

I am having this issue as well. I have been able to recover Bonjour functionality temporarily by using the "Factory Reset" button on both my XAVB101 devices. This only works for a while though. Any heavy traffic (like Time Machine) causes multicast packets to get dropped by the XAVB101. Even after traffic goes from heavy to light, the problem persists.

I hope someone from Netgear actually reads these...
