This chapter explains how to install and use the Powerline Utility. The Powerline Utility works with many Powerline AV products. NETGEAR Powerline models XAV1004, XAV2001, XAV2101, and XAVN2001 are compatible and can share the same Powerline network.

You can use the Powerline Utility to access a local Powerline device that is connected to your computer with an Ethernet cable and also to access remote Powerline devices. Remote devices are on the Powerline network, but are not directly cabled to the computer on which you are using the Powerline Utility.

You can use the NETGEAR Powerline Utility to:

•Change the name of a Powerline device

•Turn LEDs on or off

•Set encryption keys

•Set up Quality of Service (QoS)

•Restore a device to default configuration settings
