Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the NETGEAR® Powerline USB Adapter (model XA601). This

appliances. Go ahead and use your hair dryer, vacuum cleaner or TV -- your network will
automatically find the best data rate so that you can continue surfing, playing games or
telecommuting, safely and reliably.

Prepare to Install the Powerline USB
Adapter
The NETGEAR Powerline USB adapter enables you to set up a home network using your
existing electrical outlets. Computers in different rooms can share the Internet connection as
well as files and printers using the Electrical wiring that’s already in your house. There is no
need for unsightly Ethernet cabling or any rewiring.
You will need one of NETGEAR’s Powerline adapters in each room that you want part of the
home network. The Powerline USB Adapter (model XA601) connects any PC with a USB
port to the Powerline network. The Powerline Ethernet Adapter (model XE602) can easily
connect to any device with a 10BaseT or a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port such as a Cable/DSL
router.
In order to share your Cable or DSL connection among PCs in different rooms, you will need
the following:
• Cable or DSL Modem
• Cable/DSL Gateway Router (such as the NETGEAR RP614 or XR814)
• A Powerline Ethernet Adapter (model XE602) connected to the Router (unless you are
using a fully integrated NETGEAR XR814 Powerline Cable/DSL router)
