Hi
Thanks for your reply, I did not expect my post to even be posted.
I have tried several times since the post above to make it shorter or to choose a 'model' which WILL be 'authenticated' (even when it is the wrong one for my actual question) but it seems Netgear are more intereseted in preventing me asking ANY question - even about 'models' that ARE in their lists - never mind those that are NOT!
I would like to know how EXACTLY this form is supposed to be used, so I don't annoy 'helpers' AND so I can actually ask my original questions?????
Assuming THIS post is posted, here goes:
Are my 2x netgear XET1001 powerline plugs compatible with ANY currently available netgear powerline plugs?
Are ANY currently available netgear powerline plugs compatible with my WN3000RP V1H2 range extender?
Is MY WN3000RP V1H2 range extender compatible with my Sky Hub?
What is the 'speed' of this range extender, as I am sure it is not N300, never mind N600?
HOW should I proceed to connect my ranger extender to my SKY HUB (single band 2.4Ghz)?, so I can use it in my bedroom? I supposedly get 8.8Mbps from the modem/router connected by ethernet to my Mac or by wifi to my iOS devices, when they are in same room, MAX distance by line of sight 15 feet.
I have failed - despite several attempts - to connect my Smart TV (in my bedroom) to my SKY Hub (modem/router) via the range extender, despite it being reset to default.
The Smart TV currently uses BOTH powerline plugs to connect to my Sky Hub. Even using this method 'streaming' is slow, but streaming is impossible over WiFi directly from the Sky Hub since the speed is so slow that apps crash & skip items, every 20 seconds or sooner.
Can this range extender be used as a powerline plug via its ethernet port instead of using it as a WiFi range extender, or possibly as a powerline plug AT THE SAME TIME as being used as a ranger extender, so I can connect it to my Smart TV AND my iOS devices in my bedroom, and by so doing allow me to use one of the XET1001 powerline plugs to connect my multifunction printer via ethernet.
If it can be used as a powerline plug, can the wifi from this range extender be switched off, since I can't connect to it using the WiFi LAN of the Smart TV?
Thanks
Bob
