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 

Resource CD

 if a CD is 

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.
