Hardware Features

The Powerline adapter appearance varies depending on here you purchase it. Your

Powerline 200 Adapter might look like one of these:

LEDs

The LEDs light up when the adapter is plugged in to an electrical outlet. The following table

describes the LEDs.

LED Description

Power • . The electrical power is on.Solid green

• . The adapter is restarting or setting up security.Blinking green

• Amber. Power saving mode.

•Oﬀ. There is no electrical power.

Powerline • Solid. The adapter is connected to a Powerline network.

• Blinking. The adapter is sending or receiving data.

• Oﬀ. The adapter has not found any other compatible Powerline devices using the same

encryption key.

The Pick A Plug feature lets you pick the electrical outlet with the strongest link rate,

indicated by the color displayed by the LED:

Green:

Link rate > 80 Mbps (best)

Amber:

Link rate > 50 and < 80 Mbps

(better)

Red:

Link rate < 50 Mbps (good)

Ethernet • Solid. The Ethernet port is linked, but there is no activity.

• Blinking. There is traﬃc on the Ethernet port.

• Oﬀ. There is no Ethernet connection.

Powerline AV+ 200 Nano Adapter XAV2602

Buttons

Two buttons are located on the side of the adapter:

• Security. After you plug in your new AV adapters, go to the ﬁrst adapter. Press its

Security button for 2 seconds and release it. Within 2 minutes, on the next adapter, press

its button for 2 seconds and release it to trigger the security pairing. Security

The Security button does not work in power saving mode. The unit enters power saving

mode if the Ethernet port is idle (not linked) for more than 10 minutes.

• Reset Reset. Press the button for 1 second, then release to return the Powerline adapter

to its factory default settings.

Ethernet Ports

You can use the Ethernet ports to connect your router, a computer, or other devices. You do

not have to use both ports.

CAUTION:

Do not use two Ethernet cables connect both ports of the XAV2602 to your

router. That will make a network loop between your router and the

XAV2602.

The Ethernet ports use port-based Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize traﬃc. Port 1 on the

left is the high-speed video port. Port 2 on the right is for devices with lower-priority traﬃc.

Powerline AV+ 200 Nano Adapter XAV2602

Powerline Adapter in a Home Network

You can use Powerline Adapters to extend your Ethernet network anywhere in your home

using your existing electrical power lines.

Here, an Ethernet cable connects the

router to the Powerline network.

In another room, an Ethernet cable connects

a gaming console to the Powerline network.

Powerline communication

Figure 4. Powerline network with two Powerline adapters

If you want, you can plug a powerstrip into the ﬁltered outlet of your

Powerline Adapter as shown in the previous illustration. Do not plug the

adapter directly into a powerstrip.

For best performance, plan the location of your Powerline devices (to make a Powerline

network, you need at least two Powerline devices):

• Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid someone

unknowingly turning oﬀ the power to the outlet.

Chapter 1. Getting Started | 9

Powerline AV+ 200 Nano Adapter XAV2602

• Do not plug in Powerline products to a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector as

this might prevent them from working correctly, or reduce the network performance.

• Avoid plugging Powerline products into electrical outlets located near an appliance that

uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, or a refrigerator. This could potentially

prevent the adapters from working correctly, or reduce network performance.

Diﬀerent Powerline adapter models can share the network. All Powerline NETGEAR AV

products (models XAV101, XAV1004, XAV2001, XAV2101, XAV1101, XAV1301, XAV1601,

XAV2501, XAV5001, XAV5501, XAV5601, XAV5004, and XAVN2001) are compatible.

To set up your Powerline network:

1. Make sure that your home router is up and running and that Ethernet wired connections

are working.

2. Install the first Powerline adapter based on the installation instructions that came in the

package.

3. Install the second Powerline adapter, which ﬁnds the adapter you just installed. The two

Powerline devices form a Powerline network.

4. Install any additional Powerline adapters that you plan to use.

5. Test to make sure that the computer or peripheral can access the Powerline network.

For example, on a computer, use the Internet. Another way to test this is to install the

Powerline Utility and use it to view all devices on the Powerline network.

6. NETGEAR recommends that you secure your Powerline network from unauthorized access,

especially in settings such as apartment buildings. See Powerline Network Security .

Powerline Network Security

A Powerline network consists of two or more Powerline adapters using the same network

encryption key. Securing your network protects the information you send over the Powerline

network from unwanted access. If you do not set up security on your network, anyone nearby

with a Powerline network can potentially use his or her connection to gain access to your

network and information you send over the Internet. This is especially relevant in settings

such as apartment buildings, oﬃce buildings, dorm rooms, and other populated areas.

There are two ways to secure your Powerline network.

• Use the Security button to automatically generate a random encryption key.

• Use the Powerline Utility to specify an encryption key for your Powerline network. If you

already have a Powerline network, you need to use the Powerline Utility, which you can

download from the NETGEAR website, or install from your if a CD is Resource CD

included in the package for your region. See Chapter 2, Powerline Utility.

• To return the Powerline Adapter to its factory default settings, press its Factory Reset

button for 1 second, then release.

Chapter 2. Powerline Utility | 11

This chapter explains how to install and use the Powerline Utility. The Powerline Utility works

with many Powerline AV products. NETGEAR Powerline models XAV101, XAV1004, XAV2001,

XAV2101, XAV1101, XAV1301, XAV1601, XAV2501, XAV5001, XAV5501, XAV5601, XAV5004,

and XAVN2001 are compatible and can share the same Powerline network.

You can use the Powerline Utility to access a local Powerline device that is connected to your

computer with an Ethernet cable and also to access remote Powerline devices. Remote devices

are on the Powerline network, but are not directly cabled to the computer on which you are using

the Powerline Utility.

You can use the NETGEAR Powerline Utility to:

• Change the name of a Powerline device

• Turn LEDs on or off

• Set encryption keys

• Set up Quality of Service (QoS)

• Restore a device to default conﬁguration settings

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Install the Powerline Utility

• Powerline Utility Screen

• Change the Name of a Powerline Device

• Turn LEDs Oﬀ or On

• Set the Powerline Encryption Key

• Reset a Device to Factory Settings

• Add a Device to a Powerline Network

• Set Up Quality of Service (QoS)

Powerline AV+ 200 Nano Adapter XAV2602

Install the Powerline Utility

This utility allows you to set your own unique Powerline network encryption key, and prioritize

traﬃc passing through your Powerline network.

All devices on a Powerline network can be managed from one computer. If you add another

Powerline device to a Powerline network, you can install the Powerline Utility on the

computer connected locally to the new adapter, or open the utility on the computer originally

used to set up the Powerline network encryption key. You can use any computer to manage

the network, but this procedure assumes that you are working from the computer that is

connected to a Powerline adapter.
