Netgear XAVB101 Powerline AV Network Kit

Comment:
It operates out of the box, no configuration needed, which is ideal if you own a one particular loved ones property. None so far, though a reduce price tag would be nice. Also many items out there with poor documentation, that don't operate with no calling tech support. How refreshing it is when issues just work, plain and uncomplicated.

Plug and Play. No set-up unless you will need the safety feature. None Ethernet more than residence wiring. Fairly cool.

Good substitute from having somebody to drill inside the walls of your home. I can get fairly fantastic speeds with checking e mail, downloading little files and undertaking most activity. My intended use was to stream HD films and this performed really poorly. I would like to wait until this engineering expands itself into the Gigabit ethernet

Plug and play, uncomplicated to use. Nice speeds, more rapidly than WiFi. Far better than stringing wires all over the residence.Actual options have been: wireless or internal home wiring. The internal supplied the very best cost/performance ratio. Subsequent time will construct the house ALL wired! None

Performs excellent if you have all the very same model versions. I have been using my old ones for more than a year with no hassles or concerns whatsoever, just plugged them in and they worked. Consistently get about 70-80 Mb/s between two rooms on various floors, a lot more than enough for the video streaming that I am working with them for (feeding content material from my Computer disk server downstairs to the popcorn hour in my room). New version -- with the exact identical model quantity! -- seems to be incompatible with old version. Note, I am not talking about the truly old  megabit models, I am speaking about XAV101's that I purchased a year ago versus XAV101's that I bought a week ago! I have had a pair of XAV101's (v1 - the blue casing) for over a year working perfectly. I have raved about them. This week I ordered a 2nd pair. When they arrived, I noticed that they appear *almost* identical, except they have a white plastic casing as an alternative of the blue a single. I also observed that the model quantity on them reads XAV101v2 -- note the additional "v2". OK, no huge deal, I figured it was some minor firmware update and they would be compatible with each and every other, but it appears they are NOT. The old ones can see every other, and the new ones can see every single other, but the unique versions can't see every single other. There is also a new "v2" configuration utility which ALSO can not see the old "v1" adapters, which leads me to think that this incompatibility is by design(!!). The Netgear support forum has a number of other customers complaining about the exact same difficulty. If you have the "old" blue model, be really cautious about acquiring another set! Google "xav101v2 compatible xav101v1"

superbly straightforward to set up. very stable and reputable. the computer is just upstairs and about 20 ft from the adapter that is linked to the router downstairs. the adapters are almost certainly only about 25 feet from each and every other and share the very same wall. nonetheless the connection speed is usually អmbps, often ᝺mbps. it's a small bit of a let down, but it gets the job accomplished. utilized them to connect among my personal computer upstairs and my netgear eva2000 and router downstairs. connecting them with a wireless router wasn't very cutting it for streaming HD videos from my computer. the powerline adapter is only providing modest speed improvements over the wireless router at the same distance. my residence was built in 2007, so i doubt poor wiring is the dilemma. i consider these adapters would have to be sharing the very same outlet to strategy speeds anyplace near 200 mbps.

Functions ideal out of the box, no configuration needed. Consistent, dependable speeds. Performs more than much less-than-modern wiring. I reside in a 1925 property and the wiring in it is a horror, with multiple panel boxes and ungrounded outlets through several parts of the property. Old plaster lathe walls wreak havoc with WiFi so I thought i would give powerline a shot despite the fact that I was not expecting considerably. Have had it installed for three+ months and it is performing waaay beyond my expectations. Has given me tremendous flexiblity with networking, allowing me for example to place a different wireless access point at the other finish of the residence. Absolutely none other than what I consider is a suspiciously high cost. Considerably like wireless, I believe the overall performance of this item is going to differ based upon regional environmental variables. Your mileage might differ. But my knowledge with the item in a less-than-perfect atmosphere need to prompt any individual to at least give it a attempt.

Plug and play, works just as stated! Considerably faster than my wireless connection that kept going out at random. None. I wish I would have bought these a year ago when we purchased our residence. The complete house has cat five in each and every area except the area where I've positioned my workplace. I almost had a contractor reduce into the drywall and drop cat five from the room above. Sooooo glad I located this device!

Lets me move my Wireless router away from my Comcast modem, extending it's range so that it can go all through the house. Straightforward to set up, I just plugged the first a single in to the additional jack offered by the Comcast plug, and the other 1 into the wall by exactly where I placed my router, and it worked. None I have observed but. I'm definately going with this once more if I want a different set. Works nicely and is extremely quickly.

Straightforward to setup. I am now able to stream high def movies to my upstairs HTPC from my downstairs HTPC storage technique with a quickness. My home is about 8 years.For online, I was acquiring 2mbps on wireless. I am now receiving 13mbps. I applied the speakeasy broadband test. None

I used the these to setup a Roku that i got my mother for Xmas. the Roku's wireless N was unreliable and the router was on the other side of the room! I plugged the Roku into this and BOOM, streams flawlessly even in 'HD'. They had been amazed at the reliability and ease of this product.Let me stress. this item is for a no hassle ethernet connection none What is the objective of selling it as 200Mbps when the physical ethernet jack is only ten럼?

Comment:
In my home the XAVB101 is extremely quick. As soon as I plugged in I got a green powerline light indicating an 80 Mbps or more quickly. I was having problems with my PS3 continuously stuttering playing MP3 files employing a Wireless N router (PS3 Ethernet connected to a Wireless N router which was then bridged to my most important Wireless N router), but there is no stuttering with my PS3 employing the XAVB101 setup. I'm also able to delight in the Netflix on-demand download service with out any stuttering, even with HD content material. The XAVB101 is a wonderful product. I extremely suggest for these who have wireless G or N bandwidth/connectivity issues. None so far

Rapidly - Streams Netflix in "full definition".Straightforward - Plug and go. No installations, one particular button security.The indication lights show you the status of the connection, even have three colors for the speed at which you are connected! Green ᢈMbps, Yellow 80-50Mbps, Red អMbps. I was green from the second they connected. Not totally free! :P Wished it worked through power strips (the documentation just says it Might interfere, didn't test it out even though). Renting a 60's townhouse, streams Netflix from downstairs to up, not a single studder. Installed so simple, I thought there had to be much more to it!

Easy setup, works good. none

Just got this in right now. Was really uncomplicated to install. Hooked a single up to my router and the other a single downstair to my desktop. Speed test showed that i'm obtaining about 12 Mbps. I was only obtaining about 5 Mbps from my wireless. None yet I may possibly get far more to hook up my Roku player.

Comment:
It worked exactly as promised. The software program was as well simple for my liking. Though this item does not demand software program I would have liked far more options. This item does not work with the XAVB2501 kit. I was trying to save a tiny funds by adding these to my current kit but they had been not completely compatible. Thankfully Newegg is wonderful and they created it uncomplicated to return (with a modest restocking fee)

Comment:
Functions right out of the box! So basic. I got it because my wireless reception was poor at the other side of the home. Not any additional...I can stream several youtube videos, pandora radio, and nonetheless acessed files accross the LAN with no missing a beat. Didn't acquire it a year ago. I love Newegg. I honestly don't know how they get stuff to my doorstep the next afternoon from time to time. Huzzah!

Comment:
Wonderful technologies! It was either among this or going for a Wireless N card for my desktop. I don't do numerous file sharing with other computer systems, so this is fantastic for my on the internet gaming. My net connection is a humble 1.five Mbps... so this is the only limiting aspect for me. Make confident you encrypt the two together by way of the scurity button, it impacts your internet speed think it or not.

This item is just wonderful, have no troubles, n connection was easy and quickly, used other adapter for connecting my samsung blu-ray BD-C5500 , and got instant online connection. And the constructing I am living is most likely 17 years old. -NONE for now_

I had been using a pair of HDX101 powerline adapters up till lately. The situation arose recently where I will need to network an additional device and I had to make a choice about whether or not to buy another HDX101 or, replace the two that I had and obtain XAV101's (the two models are not compatible). I'm glad that I replaced them mainly because the XAV101's are 2x3 instances more quickly (I commonly get at least 100mbps from both of the remote adapters) and significantly much less power hungry (and cooler). None

Effortless to install. Plugged each in and they connected to every single other inside 20 seconds. Throughput was too low for my use. I wanted to extend the network to a new HTPC. The throughput was on 28Mbps. I tried unique locations in the residence and the ideal throughput was 43Mbps and that was with both units in the very same room on the similar circuit.

Comment:
I was hesitant toward using this in an old house as a replacement for ethernet cable, but I was pleased to find that it operates just perfectly. If there is one more set of NETGEAR Powerline adapters currently becoming employed in the residence, plugging in a second set tends to make all of them unusable! There are most likely settings to let this to perform, but it's no longer plug'n'play. thanks NETGEAR for making a dependable product.

get signal downstairs to my 360 signal is at 35mb not matter how a lot stuff i unplug if your in a modest apartment get, but something any bigger forget about

Comment:
As stated just before, connected without a flaw out of the box. Excellent for users who have a wireless router but get a weak signal at the other finish of the house. My floors are concrete in my property and I couldn't obtain a decent signal upstairs and kept obtaining disconnected. Pricey. If you compair this model with other people it states it get far more than twice the speed of most equivalent merchandise. All I know I can watch streaming media upstairs, download videos from my media center Computer, and web downloads all at as soon as without having a issue.
