NETGEAR XAV2001 Powerline AV 200 Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've read a couple of reviews that suggested they had problems getting different brands to link up.
I wanted to add my experience as a counterpoint, in that this worked fine for me.
I bought this adapter, the XAV2001 to supplement my existing Linksys PLK300 adapter kit. I was interested in the connectivity LED that shows the speed of the connection. That LED also works.
This worked flawlessly out of the box. It connected without any trouble to the two Linksys adapters, so apparently the Homeplug AV specification means something. All the adapters are of the 200mb AV type.
I did *not* try setting the security. I have little expectation that Linksys and Netgear can agree on that. If I try it, I'll edit this post.

NETGEAR XE104 85 Mbps Powerline 4-Port Ethernet Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought two. Plugged in one in my home office with a Cat5 coming from my WRT54G router.
Plugged the other one in on the opposite side of my ranch townhome. Got the blue light sync indicator within 5 seconds. Plugged in my laptop and got an IP from the Linksys five seconds after that..
Works perfectly. No drops. Just like an ethernet cable would be. Since it has four ports, plugged in the Tivo via the USB/Ethernet I already had. That also grabbed an IP and worked perfectly.
Consistent speed of copying WinXP SP2 off my PC in my home office to my laptop in the living room using the two 104s is about 15 Mbps or so as measured by Netstat on my laptop. Is it equal to Cat5? Is it ANYWHERE NEAR 85 Mbps as Netgear advertises? NOT A CHANCE. Connecting the laptop to my LAN by directly connecting into the WRT54G resulted in the same file being moved from the same PC at just over 75 Mbps. So, the 15 Mbps speed of the 104s is about 20% of the LAN's speed moving the same file.
The Netgear software says the two are connected at just about 40 Mbps. So, figure less than half that in real speed.
But overall, it does work. It's more than enough speed for me to avoid the hassles and drops of wireless, not to mention having to use WEP since my Tivo can't currently support WPA.
Clearly, this is a YMMV product. Buy it and take the shot. You might get enough speed. Or you may not even have it sync up. That's why I bought it from Amazon so I could return it if I had too. Could have gotten it a bit cheaper elsewhere, but why risk it?
If I was streaming HD files, it wouldn't work. But for not having to deal with cutting through 19 (!) wireless networks that my 802.XX Site Monitor can see, and fighting the inevitable XP wireless drops, it works fine for me. I was going to go for the Slinglink first but figured I might as well try for faster speeds. I'm glad I spent the extra $$$$ over it and the older Netgear 102s.
5 stars for ease of use. 1 star for the laughable real speed versus Netgear's advertising. Thus, an average of 3 stars.
EDIT TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: I have `SBC/ATT/Whatever they are today' DSL. I tweaked my RCP Receive Window (RWIN) from blank (whoopps) to 17,424 (as well as other settings) per DSLReports.com's suggestion in order to accommodate the new 6.0/764 RT based speed profile I recently received. In doing do, the speed of file transfers referenced above via the 104 dropped from about 15 megs to less than 10. When I removed the RWIN setting restoring it to its state before messing with it, the speed returned to the 15 megs.
So, if you've tweaked your registry settings for maximum broadband download speed and are not getting great results with the 104, you might want to do a little tweaking trade off between the two to get the speeds you're seeking on both the 104 and your broadband access. My results of both speeds is still in 'messing around with' mode and I haven't yet found that perfect blend.
EDIT TO ORIGINAL REVIEW #2 - 06/11/2006: Still working fine. Speeds are consistent with what I originally posted. It's never failed once to work the way it's intended. I've never dropped an IP and I've never plugged in the laptop and not had it work within a few seconds. A good product in my specific enviornment. I'll buy another one so I can plug in the laptop anywhere in my place, even the deck outside and not have to fight wireless drops. Now if they'd only release the 1.6 firmware....

NETGEAR Powerline AV 200 Adapter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a bit of a networking guru (as deemed by friends, family, and coworkers) and in my tenure, I've had significant hands-on experience with just about every kind of home/small office networking kit including wireless routers, network switches, wireless Ethernet bridges, specialized antennas, etc. I'm relatively new to networking over power lines, but I do have prior experience with an older 85Mbps Linksys system. After using the NETGEAR Powerline AV200, my opinion remains the same: I'm sold on the concept of Homeplug's power line networking solution since it is a fantastic way to expand the reach of an existing network, but your mileage will depend on the quality of internal wiring. (Giving credit where credit is due: Homeplug's technology powers most of the power line networking devices such as my older Linksys system and NETGEAR's AV200.)
Setting up a new power line network is extremely simple... just plug one of the AV200's into the wall with its Ethernet cable into your router/switch, and plug the other module anywhere you'd like to add an Ethernet connection. The beauty of Ethernet is that you can either directly connect the AV200 to a single device, or you can hook it up to a multi-port switch so multiple devices can be served by a single AV200. It should be noted that there's nothing stopping you from plugging in a second wireless router set to AP mode into the AV200 and effectively expanding your existing wireless coverage.
Since the AV200 (and all power line networking units) use your existing electrical wiring as the physical transmit medium, there are inherent advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional wireless internet. One advantage is relative immunity to common sources of radio interference, so Bluetooth, microwave ovens, and other devices that potentially wreak havoc on 2.4GHz 802.11B/G/N networks won't cause your connection to spontaneously drop. Another advantage is wiring simplicity-you don't need to make dedicated Ethernet cable runs and chances are the device you're trying to network is already connected to the AC wiring.
One of the disadvantages is that power lines were not designed to carry data and the overall topology can vary wildly, so this is really a case of "your mileage will vary." For example, it's entirely possible that different outlets will work better than others since sources of interference on your power lines are relatively localized. Also, since the network medium is power lines, the maximum range of your network is a little fuzzy and can extend beyond the boundaries of your residence or office. Although the signal will degrade over distance, a shared common element such as a transformer can propagate the signal, theoretically putting your network in range of multiple residences. You can mitigate this issue, in part at least, by turning on the security/encryption function which is thankfully very easy to use, but I suspect many users will not.
Overall, I think that the NETGEAR Powerline AV200 is a fine product that's powerful and easy to use. From my experience, it's much easier to use this device to extend my network versus wireless Ethernet bridges or repeaters and it's more reliable to boot. I am disappointed, however, that the AV200 doesn't have a built-in 4-port switch like as my old Linksys kit, considering the AV200 costs significantly more. In the end, I am very satisfied with the AV200 and am happy to conclude that power line networking is ready for the prime time.
Below, I've come up with a list of my Power Line Networking Best Practices
1) Things with big motors such as blenders, fans, vacuums, etc. are notorious for generating electrical noise and this can impact performance.
2) Some surge protectors / UPS units will block the signal that the AV200 needs to operate. For best performance, plug the unit into the wall.
3) Circuit breakers and fuse boxes will degrade the signal, but it's entirely possible to use Homeplug devices that are on different electrical circuits eg. upstairs/downstairs.
4) The 200Mbps AV200's didn't work with my 85 Mbps Linksys.

ZyXEL PLA401v3 HomePlug AV 200 Mbps Powerline Wall-plug Adapter (Starter Kit - 2 units) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this product for a couple of months and am pleased to report that it works brilliantly. Installation couldn't be simpler. I plugged each of these into an outlet in the same room/same circuit and attached one end to a RJ45 Ethernet wall jack and the other to my DirecTV HR22 DVR. The DVR immediately saw that it had Internet access and was able to stream high definition movies (DirecTV's "whole home DVR" feature) anywhere in my house.
I had previously tried to stream high definition movies using aTRENDnet Wireless N Gaming Adapter TEW-647GA (Black) connected to my 802.11G network. The trendnet over 802.11g was not able to stream high definition content. Even when the trendnet was able to connect reliably, high def content streamed so poorly that it was unwatchable.
With the ZyXEL, high definition streams without any glitches! We are quite pleased as we had no other way to get an Internet connection to our HR22's location. The connection has been 24/7 reliable- we've never had to reset these or touch them in any way. It really was as simple plugging them in.
Note: I haven't tried running this over different circuits.
--------------------
9 month followup:
This product has worked flawlessly since the day it was installed. I've never had to reset them or mess with them in any ways. It's refreshing to find a product that "just works" in this age of complexity and "beta quality".

NETGEAR XAV2501 Powerline AV+ 200 Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the NETGEAR XAV2501 to go along the NETGEAR XAV1004 so I could get internet to my AV system. I bought the XAV2501 because the combo package that includes the XAV1004 was out of stock and I was in a hurry. The XAV1004 works with several of the NETGEAR Powerline adapters (see their website for full details).
I have a two-story brick home which is about 60 ft wide. The cable modem and and NETGEAR router reside upstairs at one end of the house while the main AV system resides downstairs at the other end of the house. Thus, I have a worst-case condition here as there are several walls for which wireless signals to pass. I had been using simple 802.11g to connect to the TIVO using the TIVO adapter, but that solution doesn't work for blu-ray and other devices which can use internet access. Also, and more of a problem, the wireless signal to the TiVO would frequently drop out forcing me to reboot the router. I got tried of that after several months.
I also tried the NETGEAR dual band router (802.11n) at 5GHz talking to a wireless bridge (DLINK). This solution, while sounding good on paper, doesn't work very well. The 5 GHz signal was very weak through several walls and from floor to floor. For file transfers from the TiVO to the PC, the transfer times were slow.
Finally, I got around to powerline AV from NETGEAR. It's a simple hook up. You plug the XAV2501 into a socket near your computer and run an ethernet cable to it from your router. Then plus the XAV1004 (in my case, anyhow) into a socket near where your AV equipment is (in my cause, downstairs at the other end of the 60 ft house I live in). Then run ethernet cables from the XAV1004 to the TiVo, Blu-ray, Xbox (I don't have this) and TV. This gets you a 100 Mbps connection (not 200 Mbps).
This works great! I have a laptop down there and I can move a 11 GB file from upstairs to downstairs with transfer speeds from 5.83 to 6.5 MB/s (that's megabytes per second, not megabits per second). So that 11 GB file is transferred in about 35 minutes. Downloads to the TiVo from Amazon or NetFlix are much slower, but they are limited by my broadband connection, which is about 25 Mbps at best (that's megabits per second).
The XAV1004 has 4 ports that you can use to connect your internet-ready devices. They appear to be metered some how, with one for your device that requires the highest bandwidth (I presume this would be for streaming video), and the second for the device that requires the next highest. The last two appear to be about equal. From what I can tell, file transfers from the laptop downstairs to the PC upstairs go at the same rate using either of the two highest speed ports. This might change if I actually had two devices using both ports at the same time, but so far I don't really have a need for it. I have the TiVo on the highest speed connection, and the PC on the second highest port. The transfers still go as written above.
I am very pleased with this powerline connectivity in my house, which was built around 1988, so the wiring is not exactly new. I have been testing now for several weeks. I have not had a drop or a significant slow down yet, even though the file transfer speed does vary in the range of 5.83 to 6.5 MB/s. I'm not sure why there is that variation.
The picture here on Amazon.com for the XAV2501 (at the top for the product) is not what I got in the box. I think there are different versions of this device. The version I got is what is pictured in the written description, but I think there are different versions of this device.
Highly recommended if your home is not pre-wired for networking. More reliable than wireless and you can still use that too. My 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless bands are free for other connections (upstairs in other bedrooms and downstairs for Wifi phones and laptop/iPad, etc).

NETGEAR Powerline AV Adapter with Ethernet Switch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked up one of these along with the V101 in a combo package to run my Xbox 360 and DirecTV DVR downstairs from the cable modem and router in my upstairs office. I had been using wireless networking for the past several years but had issues with wireless failing from time to time and went through 3 routers over 3 years accordingly. Since the wired portion of the routers worked just fine at retirement in each case, I thought I'd give an alternative a try. I researched a few different brands and finally settled on Netgear's Powerline offering. I specifically went with the ones rated for 200Mb for HD streaming options.
I am very satisfied with the performance so far. The Windows Media Center functionality with my Xbox 360 is finally performing in a manner that I expected. With wireless I was getting VERY slow response in the Media Center menu but it operates much more smoothly with the Powerline adapter connected.
I ordered an additional adapter for a computer and DirecTV DVR in another room of my home and all 3 devices are operating well together with excellent connection speed. In addition, setup was completely simple. It was literally plug and play. No configuration required whatsoever.
I would definitely suggest this product line without reservation.

NETGEAR Powerline AV+ 200 Adapter Kit XAVB2501 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I saw this item, I leapt at the opportunity to get my hands on a set of these, in hopes that this Netgear Powerline AV+ 200 Adapter Kit would give me a stronger Internet connection than I was getting wirelessly to my Wii. I've only just recently begun subscribing to Netflix, and the signal that I've been getting wirelessly has left something to be desired with regards to image quality of downloaded media from the Instant queue.
When I received my package, I couldn't wait to get these in place and put them to use. Luckily for me, setting these up was a breeze. The adapters themselves are pretty tall, and fairly wide, as you probably determined by the photo - about 2.5" wide, 5" tall, and about 1.75" deep. They fit VERY snugly into the outlets (I placed each of mine in the bottom outlet, so I could still access the top outlet), so be prepared to apply a little force to the adapters if you're trying to get them into outlets that are in an awkward spot to get to.
The instructions also clearly state that these adapters need to be placed in the wall outlets themselves, NOT into a power strip that items are then connected to. Looking at them, it's pretty obvious to me that the recommendations are wisely made. I simply wouldn't want to fry these adapters out if I put them into an outlet that didn't look adequate for them. So, I unplugged the power strip that I'd had plugged into each outlet that the adapters were going to be occupying, connected one of the enclosed Ethernet cables to each adapter, popped the adapters into the outlets, looked for the LED indicators that showed that these were working well where I'd put them, plugged the power strips into each adapter's built-in outlet (ingenious!), and I was in business! It was then as simple as connecting the Ethernet cable from the adapter near my computer to a port on my wireless router, and then connecting the Ethernet cable from the adapter near my entertainment center to my Wii and its LAN USB adapter, to create the network connection.
When I first got my Wii and was considering my Wii-Internet connectivity options, I'd thought about buying a ridiculously long Ethernet cable to wind around my apartment and its walls, and the challenge it would be to staple/nail around the cord to keep it in place. I could've done that, but I knew how unsightly it would be, so I opted to go for the wireless router that I now have (and still use and enjoy), and connected my Wii to the 'net that way. It was more than adequate, too, until I started my Netflix subscription, and could literally see that my wireless signal was lacking, for Netflix-viewing purposes. Thanks to this adapter kit and a Wii-compatible LAN adapter, though, I've now got the best picture that I've seen on the Netflix Instant queue accessed through my Wii, and a super-strong connection to the Internet with it. Long story short, I couldn't be more pleased by just how well these adapters do what they say they will. I remember originally thinking, "there's no way that these things can make an Internet connection without them being directly connected to each other with a cable." Netgear, you've proven me wrong, and I'm thrilled that you did! Two thumbs up!
* UPDATE*
It's knocking on a year after my install of these NETGEAR Powerline AV+200 adapters, and I'm still happily using them. Perhaps even better, I'm still LOVING them! They continue to provide a strong and consistent signal to my Wii, which I still use daily to watch TV/movies on via Netflix.
If you happen to be having any viewing quality issues, be sure that you've got fast enough Internet service. The NETGEAR adapters will transmit everything they possibly can, as reliably as they can, but if your Internet is just not fast enough, your viewing quality might be a bit on the grainy/pixellated side. I had been using such low-grade Internet when I initially installed these that it wasn't even listed in my cable provider's options - I had to specifically request it in a sales call with them - but I've since bumped my service up to one of the top two options, and that totally fixed the issues that I had with viewing quality.
These NETGEAR adapters were great last May when I first got them, and, eight months later, they're still keeping my entertainment center up-to-date with the latest technology, and doing so beautifully! Good stuff!

RCA HDP50 Powerlink Internet Media Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The RCA HDP50 is a product that can be very useful in limited applications. It essentially uses your electrical wiring as an internet connection. The way it works is you plug one adapter into an electrical outlet near your cable modem, then you plug one end of an ethernet cable into the adapter and the other end into your cable modem. Then you plug the other adapter into an electrical outlet near the device you want internet access to, and then you plug one end of a second ethernet cable into that adapter and the other end into your device. NOTE: you will need to purchase 2 ethernet cables because they are NOT included. Examples of devices you might want internet access to are laptop or desktop computers, video game systems, streaming video devices, and internet-ready televisions.
The thing is, most of this is done via a wireless router these days. So the RCA HDP50 is fairly limited in its applications. There are a few instances where it is an excellent solution, though. For example, I have a wireless set-up in my home that works well for most parts of the house, however there are a couple of rooms that the wireless signal is very poor. That is because my house is large and there are brick walls between the wireless router and those rooms. This worked perfectly for my PS3 game system in one of those rooms!
My conclusion is that if you cannot use a wireless router for some reason or if your wireless signal is poor, the RCA HDP50 might be a good alternative to running coax cable. Make sure that you evaluate your situation carefully and if you decide this would be a good solution, it works just as described.

NETGEAR Home Theater Internet Connection Kit (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have only had this for a few days, but hookup is a breeze (took about 5 minutes from openning the box to fishing wires under my furniture behind the TV), and it is much faster than wireless G. I am streaming Netflix through my TivoHD without undue buffering, and at the claimed Netflix full HD quality. The utility software included with the product allows the user to turn off the three LEDs on the four port switch, implement security on the devices, and create network priorities if there are multiple adapters on the network. The utility software scans the powerline network and details the speed at which the network is operating. My speeds vary between 72 mpbs to 88 mbps in my 3,100 sqft house that is about 7 years old. My network router is upstairs and my home theater is downstairs. Longevity of the device is yet to be determined since I have only had it a few days, but so far I am very pleased with the product.
***UPDATE***
I had a lamp that operated by touch to turn it on and off. It kept turning on by itself after installing the netgear powerline adapter. Well, after unplugging the lamp from the wall, I am getting about 160 mbps transfer speeds on my network to my home theater. Its fast, stable, and streams video like crazy.
