Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer You can create a network connection anywhere in your home with the NETGEAR 85 Mbps Powerline Network Adapter Kit XETB1001. It includes everything you need to create a network connection using your home's electrical wiring, so you can connect your computer and networkable accessories to your home network anywhere you have a power outlet, whether it is in the basement or the attic.

Create a Network Connection Anywhere in Your Home
By harnessing the electrical wiring in your home to transmit data, the Powerline lets you create network connections practically anywhere in your home, in places where a wireless signal can't reach and where it would be difficult to run an Ethernet cord. This network adapter kit is perfect for connecting game consoles, network storage devices, Slingboxes, and more.

Plug-And-Play Gets You Going Quick and Easy
The Powerline Network Adapter Kit is a snap to set up. This kit includes two XET1001 Adapters so you'll have everything you need to create a single connection. Just plug one adapter into an available electrical socket near your router, and connect your router to it. Then plug the second adapter into any electrical socket that's located near the device you want to network. When you connect your device into the adapter, it will be connected to your network.

It's as simple as that. There's no software to install, no passwords to remember, and no configuration whatsoever. And you can easily create more network connections throughout your home by simply installing additional XET1001 adapters.

The adapter is HomePlug 1.0 compliant, making it compatible with the NETGEAR XE104, XEPS103, XE102, WGXB102, and other HomePlug 1.0 devices.

Fast, Secure Network Connections
The Powerline XET1001 Adapter features speeds of up to 85 Mbps, fast enough for media streaming, downloading large files, and other bandwidth-heavy applications. Data is encrypted so you can be sure your private data is secure.

For added convenience, the Powerline features three LEDs that give information on power, network status, and Ethernet connections at a quick glance.

Each NETGEAR XET1001 Adapter measures 1.6 x 2.8 x 3.9 (WxHxD). The NETGEAR 85 Mbps Powerline Network Adapter Kit XETB1001 is backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
Two Powerline adapters, two Ethernet cable, installation guide, setup CD, warranty card, support and information card.

Prior to purchasing this we had all kinds of problems getting our wireless LG Blu-Ray player connected to broadband to stream Netflix. It would just not connect reliably. After much wasted time we purchased this kit.

The kit worked perfectly! Zero configuration, no hassles. just make sure you plug it directly into the wall, *not* into a power strip. We were streaming Netflix within 2 minutes of plugging these little babies in.

I read some other reviews about this product having problems across circuits served by different breakers in the breaker box. Well, I know we used ours on different breakers and it still worked perfectly.

Great product. Worked perfectly.

By the way, our LG Blu-Ray player sucks since it does *not* let you search inside Netflix. You can only browse and/or pull from your Netflix Instant queue. Make sure you by a Blu-Ray player that can both SEARCH and STREAM Netflix. You will save yourself endless running back and forth from PC/iPAD to Netflix to find an play the movie you want.

4.0 out of 5 stars Holy Crap It Works, Except When a Hair Dryer is On
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2014
Verified Purchase
A friend of mine had a set of Powerline Network Adapters and I was surprised to find it was working for his Xbox 360. (I can confirm they work with my Xbox One as well. I verified it does not prevent my "Open NAT" rating.) Based on his success I bought a pair of my own. Initially they did not work. I found out after trial and error that there are two key factors which I will explain below:

=== KEY TROUBLESHOOTING FACTORS ===
1) NO SURGE PROTECTORS - Surge protectors apparently kill the internets. I had my Powerline Network Adapters plugged into a socket multiplier that happened to have a surge protector in it and it completely prevented the internet from working on these. It is best to plug these strait into the wall.

2) ORDER OF PLUGIN MATTERS - I found that it is vital to plug the Powerline Network Adapter connected to the router first, then plug in the one plugged into the XBox. If the Powerline Network Adapter that is plugged into the Xbox is plugged in first, it sets up a network on what is basicly the "can't connect to the network" IP range. You can check for this by going into Xbox Settings -> Network. If it show an IP in the 169.254.0.0/16 range, then you need to follow the directions for the fix below. (When I Googled the IP, the results indicated it was a "Windows Private IP". Which means the device couldn't find DHCP and assigned that IP to itself.)

169.254.0.x IP FIX --> To fix the Windows Private IP, unplug both adapters. Restart your router, then once that is back up, plug in the one connected to the router. Finally go and plug the one connected to the Xbox in.

==== Drawbacks ====
After using this for a few months I can saw this is a solid product. It has recovered from power outages without needed to go through the restart process and has preformed consistently. However it gets a four out of five stars for these few drawbacks.

A) HAIR DRYERS = NO INERNETS - I don't know if this is limited to my model, but hair dryers completely drop my internet connection. This is a relatively rare occurrence, but if the hair dryer is on the same circuit as the Powerline Network Adapters it will stop the internet from working. I have not had an issue with the fridge, lamps, microwave, TV, Radio or any other appliance. Hair Dryers much pull so much electricity on the circuit that there is to much interference for the connection.

B) BOTH UNITS MUST BE ON SAME CIRCUIT - If you have multiple circuits in your house it is possible that the Powerline Network Adapters won't be able to communicate with each other aka "no internets". You can test this by plugging both units into the same wall socket. If they work while in the same socket, but not while one you want to use, this could be the cause of the issue. (Be sure to plug them in, in the right order as outlined above.)

I bought this product to stream video in my house.It can't even stream standard def reliably. You can do basic Internet surfing, but forget about streaming video. In the item description, it says "Ideal for powering a wireless router and extending an Internet connection to a computer, set-top box, game console, DVR or print server." That is very misleading. It is too slow for video.I ended up buying the WD Livewire Powerline AV Network Kit 200Mbps for less money, and it works great. Netgear does make great products, but avoid this model if you are looking to stream videos.

This unit worked great connecting a downstairs computer with upstairs DSL network. Very easy to install and no software to mess with computer saw and connected to the network instantly and without any prompting from me. Unfortunately when I upgraded from DSL to fiber it stopped working. Nothing I are the installing tech. could do to get it to connect with the web or even see the other computers or router. I suspect the fiber was to fast for the 85 Mbps unit.

This product was pure plug and play. Literally just plug it in, plug in ethernet cable then plug the 2nd one in and ethernet and it worked. The performance so far has been excellent. I have gone from constantly worrying about dropped connections on my wireless network to not worrying at all. It's great.

I found the network speed when checked was only 4 to 5 Mb/s. Ended up buying the Trendnet 500 Mbps units for the same price elsewhere and the network speed increased to 54 Mbps (I use a high speed router/network). I am keeping these as a back up for emergencies.
