HDXB101 compatible with newer models?

[fast2406]

I've got an older pair of HDXB101 powerline adapters and need an extra one. Unfortunately they have been discontinued, so I was wondering if I can buy one of the newer models? Would they work together? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Newer adapters use a different technology and are not compatible. Your best bet is eBay, about £20 for a single unit last time I checked

I appreciate your reply - thank you. I couldn't find a HDXB101 on ebay so I was wondering if there is a list of 'older' versions that would be compatible? If I do a search for Netgear Powerline on ebay I find loads but unsure which one to pick ... any advice?

Cheers.

Search HDX101, which is a single unit (the B in HDXB101 simply means you're buying a pair). Three or four on there right now

How many Powerline adapters can I add to my network?

look at FAQ of it.. you will see the limited model will work.

this is related home plug protocol

But dear friends. I just had contact with Customer Technical Support. They verified this and told me that this model HDX101 will not be compatible with the new Powerline Homeplug adapters because the firmware is too old?
This is confusing me now? 😞
