Powerline 500 XAVB5201 not connecting with Xbox one
I bought this powerline 500 plus wifi access point and set it up and works fine with my phone tv and laptop but when I try to connect my Xbox one it doesn't work and I don't know why and my Xbox can ...
Let's unravel this. You say:

If so, then this bit is probably wrong:

The wifi plug isn't intelligent enough to block one device while it allows all the others to connect.
It is more likely that there is some wifi setting in the XBox that you need to change.
For example, you have have to ensure that the XBox is using a wifi security protocol that works with the XAVB5201.
As the XAVB5201 isn't a wifi plug, perhaps you could tell us which plugs you are using. Is it the XWNB5201? If so, have you tried connecting using WPS?
If the other kit connects, then the problem is clearly with the Xbox rather than your Netgear hardware.
What does the Xbox say when you try to connect?
How are you trying to connect? (WPS?)
Is the SSID the same for both wifi sources? (But that should not affect the LAN.)
You might get quicker replies if you visit an Xbox group like this.
