How the Powerline AV 500 Access Point Fits in Your

Network

You can use one or more Powerline 500 WiFi Access Points to extend your home network

anywhere in your house using your electrical power lines.

A Powerline network consists of two or more compatible Powerline devices that communicate

with each other. 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). That way

each Powerline device can communicate with the router and use its Internet connection.

The following illustration shows an existing Powerline network with one Powerline device in

Room 1, a second Powerline device in Room 2, and a Powerline 500 WiFi Access Point

Figure 3. Powerline access point connected to the Powerline network and wireless network

To form a Powerline network you need at least two compatible Powerline devices (including

the Powerline 500 WiFi Access Point).

For best performance, plan the location of your Powerline devices:

• Use an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch to avoid someone

unknowingly turning off the power to the outlet.

• Do not plug Powerline products into a power strip, extension cord, or surge protector as

this might prevent them from working correctly or reduce the network performance.

• Avoid plugging Powerline products into electrical outlets located near an appliance that

uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, or a refrigerator. This could potentially

prevent the Powerline devices from working correctly, or reduce network performance.

Getting Started

Powerline 500 WiFi Access Point (XWN5001)

Set Up the Powerline Network

You can set up a Powerline network that includes the access point or you can add the access

point to an existing Powerline network.

Set Up a New Powerline Network

Different Powerline models can share the network. All NETGEAR Powerline AV products are

compatible.

To set up a new Powerline network:

1. Make sure that your WiFi router or gateway is

connected to the Internet and that your Ethernet

wired connections are working.

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.

For more detailed instructions, see the installation guide that came in the package.

3. During setup, plug the access point into a wall outlet

near your router or gateway.

4. Use the provided Ethernet cable to connect the

access point to an Ethernet port on a computer for

initial setup.

The Powerline devices attempt to detect each other

and form a Powerline network. This process could

take a few minutes.

5. Wait for each Powerline device to be recognized by

the Powerline network.

The Power and Powerline LEDs should light. This

process could take as little as 5 seconds, or up to 80

seconds. If the Powerline LEDs are green or amber,

the devices are successfully connected. A red LED

indicates a slow link rate. In this case, move the device or access point to another

electrical outlet with a faster connection.

6. Set up the access point wireless network as explained in Set Up the Access Point

Wireless Network on page 12.
