Compatability

I have a pair of XAV 1501 in use at the moment. I need an extra adapter, and wanted to know which current models would be compatible with the XAV1501, and if possible where to source it/them 

Model: XAV1501|POWERLINE AV+ 200 ADAPTER

Re: Compatability

Most recent Powerline devices follow the AV standard, which means that you can mix different makes and different generations. The only issue if that if you add "1000" plugs to a network with "500" plugs they will talk to each other at the speed of the slowest plugs on the network.

 

When you do add plugs to an existing network, you should follow these instructions:

 

Powerline Networking | Powerline Ethernet | NETGEAR

 

Remember, you need only one "source" plug connected to the router.

 

One other thing to consider, in theory you can mix brands but it isn't always easy to get set them up.
