Product Label The product label is on the back of the device. The label shows unique details specific to your device, including the following information. • Model number • Powerline MAC address • Ethernet/wireless MAC address • Serial number • Device password • WPS security PIN • Default wireless network name (SSID) • Default network key (wireless network password) How the WiFi Extender Fits into Your Network You can use one or more WiFi extenders to extend wireless and wired Internet access throughout your home. A Powerline network consists of two or more compatible Powerline devices that communicate with each other using your electrical power lines. One of the Powerline devices is connected with an Ethernet cable to your router so that the Powerline network is linked to your local area network (LAN). Connecting one Powerline device to your router allows all the Powerline devices on the Powerline network to communicate with the router and use its Internet connection. If your home network includes a wireless router or gateway, you can use the WiFi extender to extend the coverage of your existing wireless network or to create a second wireless network. If you have a wired router or gateway, the WiFi extender can use your wired Internet connection to create a wireless network in your home. The following illustration shows a Powerline network with one Powerline device in Room 1, a second Powerline device in Room 2, and a WiFi extender (XAVN2001) in Room 3.

WiFi extender (XAVN2001) connected to a Powerline network and wireless network To form a Powerline network, you need at least two compatible Powerline devices (including the WiFi extender). For best performance, plan the location of your Powerline devices. • Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid accidentally turning off the power to the outlet. • Avoid plugging Powerline products into electrical outlets that are located near appliances that consume a lot of power, such as washers, dryers, or refrigerators. Interference from these appliances might prevent Powerline products from working correctly or reduce Powerline network performance. • Do not plug Powerline products into a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector. Connecting a Powerline product to one of these devices might prevent the product from working correctly or reduce Powerline network performance. You can set up a new Powerline network that includes the WiFi extender or you can add the WiFi extender to an existing Powerline network. Set Up a New Powerline Network Different Powerline models can share the same Powerline network. All NETGEAR Powerline AV products are compatible. 1. Make sure that your wired Ethernet connections are working. If you have an existing wireless network, make sure that it is connected to the Internet. a.On a computer that is connected to your router or gateway using an Ethernet cable, open a web browser and navigate to a web page. b. On a computer or device that is connected to your wireless network, open a web browser and navigate to a web page. 2. Plug the first Powerline device (sold separately) into a wall outlet near your router or gateway. Then, connect the device to the LAN port on your router or gateway using an Ethernet cable. 3. Plug the WiFi extender into a wall outlet where you need wireless coverage. WiFi extender 4. (Optional) You can use the provided Ethernet cable to connect the WiFi extender to an Ethernet port on a computer, game console, Blu-ray player, or other peripheral device. The Powerline devices attempt to detect each other and form a Powerline network. 5. Wait for each Powerline device to be recognized by the Powerline network. This process could take as little as 5 seconds or up to 80 seconds. When the Power and Powerline LEDs stop blinking, the process is complete. If the Powerline LEDs are green or amber, the devices are successfully connected to the Powerline network. A red Powerline LED indicates a slow link rate. In this case, move the Powerline device to another electrical outlet with a faster connection. 6. Set up the WiFi extender wireless network as explained in Set Up the WiFi Extender Wireless Network on page 12. Add the WiFi Extender to an Existing Powerline Network If you have an existing Powerline network, make sure one of the Powerline devices is connected to your router or gateway so that the Powerline network is linked to your local area network (LAN). Your existing Powerline network must have two or more compatible Powerline devices that communicate with each other. 1. If you used the Security buttons or NETGEAR genie to secure your Powerline network, press the Factory Reset button for 2 seconds on each Powerline device to return it to its factory default settings. This is the quickest way to allow your new WiFi extender to communicate with the other Powerline devices. 2. WiFi extender Plug the WiFi extender into a w...
