Hi DND,
Yes, very disappointed with XAVB5001 Performance.
Purchased on Netgear Quality Promise to replace LAN over Power adapters supplied by ISP.
Units have failed to meet expectations with speed of 5-21 Mbps RX and 10-80 Mbps TX.
Very little support from Netgear on-line Technical Team: ‘lots of talk and no action’.

I had the same problem with XAVB5501 max 80 Mbps for RX and TX. :mad:

Re: XAV5001/5004 low throughput

actually i sorta fixed mine by unplugging and replugging the xav5001. before was real-world throughput of around 7Mbps, afterwards was 53-4Mbps. the utility showed lower throughput at around 230-250Mbps, but the real-world was way higher.
