For the very impatient that only the first line read, the Powerline XAVB5601 are
of the function of the hardware and the Finisch 4 to 5 star rating as a safe value.
Advise to this adapters but I can only tech-savvy people or the patience
try and have the courage to take. So for absolute amateur the only times fast a network
want to, I would rather advise.
Why discourage
I'll go briefly to my old adapter (200 Mbit) I ein.Als this new I got it
unpacked, plugged into the outlets where they turn hinsollten network cable off computer
and I was not any help in Internet.Ich had only the default password
change against an individual.
Before the new Powerline XAVB5601 installed with me, I have my old 4 Once
removed and the new plugged into the outlets where I knew this is the best connection there.
After switching on the computer I could see there was no connection (computer to the router).
I have it connected through my laptop directly with a network cable to the router and the router'm menu
gegangen.Dort dived also the Powerline Adapter is connected directly to the router and has
to the correct network speed eingestellt.Dann the computer hangs on the 2 adapters Netgear
Powerline Utility installed and started. There both adapters the lock icon that were detected,
Encryption was open and both adapters sending and receiving. Only there is no connection to the
Router zustande.Das the Powerline adapters are defective can be excluded actually
otherwise the router and the utility PRG the adapter would not even see.
I have pointed out several times to reset the adapter made of the Yes to restore factory setting,
unfortunately without Erfolg.Nach repeated from every conceivable taste scenes and read multiple times
the online FAQ at Netgear what it was all to no avail, I took the last attempt.
I wanted the work specified by the passwords of the adapters on my own makes you ändern.Dieses
with the Powerline Utility.Dabei I got a surprise that PRG wanted beharlich password
only by one and the same adapter ändern.Es always came the message for the other, this would not
nötig.Ich have then wondered, the other adapters see bright or he may lead a
Life of its own from which I weiss.In a network where all adapters communicate anything together, must
all have the same password otherwise goes nothing.
Solution
As the Powerline Utility persistently refused on both adapters to change the password I have again
via hardware reset the adapter back and deducted from the sockets. Then I have only one
single adapter plugged to the grid and those connected to the computer. Then the Powerline Utility
started changed the password, the PRG leave the adapter disconnected from the grid and the same with the
2 Adapter gemacht.Anschliessend both adapters reconnected to the outlets where they should go.
And that was it !!! The computer went immediately without any further action on the internet.
There is also still the Security button on the Powerline adapter only then you have the adapter in a quasi
Room have because you also have to press the or the other adapter same button within 2 minutes.
Or you discover his sporting incentive and runs may ever through several floors
In conclusion, I can only say the software Powerline Utility is illogical by the operator and the description
the software, unfortunately, also. Furthermore, I can not understand when I realize a couple buy it,
why the couple is not from the very beginning has the same password. Would it namely equal would this adapter
at least immediately laufen.Mit the 200 adapters were not all these problems!
Maybe Netgear measures the success of its sales and the number of its returns?
To speed following noch.Was the software Powerline Utility displays are pure fantasy values.
Here copy the values in real MegaBytes between 2 computers during and as a Fritzbox router.
The 200 adapter (1 value many small files, large files 2 value) 3 MBytes, 4.4 MBytes
The 500 adapter (1 value many small files, large files 2 value) 5 MBytes, 8.0 Mbytes
In the 500 adapters with all the speed is even greater because the FritzBox wahrscheinlikeit
has only 100 Mbit connections, making it maxed out at 8.0 Mbytes.
Otherwise, these adapters for about 2 weeks now run without any problems, they go as planned
after about 10 min. does not use automatic standby and, if necessary, automatically again.
