XAVN2001 and subnet mask
Hello! I recentely bought a XAVN2001 wireless extender powerlin adapter. The XAVN2001 is connected to my ISP router through another powerline adapter (XAV5501). I use subnetting in my home network t...
powerline adapters including XAVN2001, behave like a L2 bridge, they will not do any L3 discrimination.
Your guest subnet in gateway is only for its wifi network, i dont think it is applicable to the LAN ports, then your powerline network which is connected to your LAN, is part of your home subnet, so any wireless cliente connected to XAVNB2001, will be part of the 192.168.1.0/25. The IP address 192.168.1.3 your are trying to set in XAVN2001 is for management only, so first it shouldn´t affect your separation; second the fix assignation should be set in the gateway as it is the DHCP server.
Did i help?
