XAV101v2 Powerline AV 200 Adapter User Manual
Connect Other Ethernet Powerline Adapters
Once the first adapter is installed and connected to your router, you can easily add adapters
into your network.
Adding other adapters
1. Be sure the first adapter is connected to your router.
2. Plug additional Powerline AV 200 Adapters into power outlets near the other computers and
additional peripheral devices to be included in your Powerline network.
3. Use the gray Ethernet cable from the XAV101v2 package to connect from the Powerline AV
200 Adapter to an Ethernet port located on the other computer or peripheral device.
4. Wait for each Powerline adapter to be recognized by the Powerline network.
The Power, Ethernet, and Powerline LEDs should turn on. This could take as little as 5
seconds, or up to 80 seconds. For details about how the LEDs work, see
Table 1 on
page 7.
5. Test to make sure that each computer connected to a Powerline AV 200 Adapter can access
the Powerline network.
For example, be sure that you can access the Internet from a remote computer. If there is
a problem, see
Connecting a Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter to the Router on page 9.
One way to test this is to install the Powerline Utility and use it to view all the computers
connected by the Powerline AV Ethernet adapter.

WARNING!
NETGEAR recommends that you secure your Powerline network
from unauthorized access. This is especially relevant in settings
such as apartment buildings. See
