Xav5221 with XWN5001
I've 4 powerline Xav5221 and I would like to add a wifi powerline. Are thw products compatible? I have to buy the powerline 500 kit (powerline and receiver) or just the receiver? I need the wifi only in one room that is not covered by the router

To answer your first question, all powerlines with Homeplug AV Certification are compatible with each other, and most powerlines avaliable on the market do have this certification. So if you do buy the Powerline 500 + WiFi, they will work together with your current set as they both are Homeplug AV compliant.
- So why the kit have a powerline and a receiver? I need only the receiver?

I need only the receiver?Most new customers find having the WiFi adapter extender and the Powerline in the same package better, as it means the customer don't need to mess around buying two different products. To my knowledge Netgear sadly doesn't have just a Powerline WiFi adapter available to buy anywhere. If you are able to buy a XWM5001 somewhere, it will work with your Homeplug AV devices. I hope this helps a little more.
