Powerline Utility
This chapter explains how to install and use the Powerline Utility. The Powerline Utility works
with many Powerline AV products. NETGEAR Powerline models XAV1004, XAV2001, 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.

Turn LEDs on or off
