LEDs

The LEDs indicate the status of your Powerline adapter.

• When you plug in the adapter, the Power LED lights up and

turns green.

• The adapter is not active when no Ethernet link has occurred for

more than 10 minutes. The adapter enters power saving mode,

and the Power LED turns amber .

• The Ethernet LED lights up when you connect a powered-on

Ethernet device to at least one Ethernet port.

• The Powerline LED turns on when the adapter detects at least

one other compatible Powerline device.

The Pick A Plug feature lets you pick the electrical outlet with the

strongest link rate, indicated by the color displayed by the

Powerline LED:

- Green: Link rate > 80 Mbps (Best)

- Amber: Link rate > 50 and < 80 Mbps (Better)

- Red: Link rate < 50 Mbps (Good)

Compatible NETGEAR Powerline Devices

To create a Powerline network you need at least two compatible

Powerline devices.

Your Powerline adapter can share a Powerline network with these

compatible NETGEAR devices: XAV101, XAV1004, XAV2001,

XAV2101, XAV1101, XAV1301, XAV1601, XAV2501, XAV5001,

XAV5501, XAV5601, XAV5004, and XAVN2001.

Install Your Powerline Adapter

The ports use Quality

of Service (QoS) to

prioritize traffic. Port 1

on the left is the high-

priority video port.

You can plug a

power strip into

the filtered outlet,

but do not plug

your Powerline

adapter into a

power strip.

The filtered AC

socket removes

some electrical

noise. Plugging

a nearby device

into the filtered

AC socket

improves

performance.

You can set up a new Powerline network with your XAV2602 and a

compatible Powerline device, or you can add your XAV2602 to an

existing Powerline network.

Set up a new Powerline network:

1. Obtain at least one more Powerline device that is compatible

with the XAV2602.

2. Plug the Powerline AV+ 200-compatible adapter into an electrical

outlet, and plug the XAV2602 adapter into another electrical

outlet.

• The Power LED on the XAV2602 lights up.

• If both of the devices you connected are powered on and

establish communication, the Powerline LED on the

XAV2602 lights up.

3. If you have more than one compatible adapter, plug them into other

electrical outlets.

4. User Ethernet cables (one is included in the package) to connect

your equipment to the Ethernet ports on the adapter.

• Port 1 is for high priority traffic used by devices such as

gaming consoles.

• Port 2 is for devices with lower priority traffic.

You can use both ports or only one port.

The Powerline LED turns on for each Powerline adapter when they

detect each other. The devices automatically form a Powerline

network.

Add the adapter to a secure Powerline network:

Your Powerline network is already secured if you used the Security

button or the Powerline Utility to set up security.

1. Make sure that the Powerline devices you already use are

compatible to the XAV2602. Plug the XAV2602 into another

electrical outlet.

2. Press the Security button on one of your existing Powerline

adapters for 2 seconds and release the button. Then within 2

minutes, press the Security button on the XAV2602 for 2 seconds

and release the button. The Power LED on the XAV2602 starts to

blink as security is setting up.

The Powerline LED turns on for each Powerline adapter when

they detect each other. They automatically form a Powerline

network.

3. Use Ethernet cables (one is included in the package) to connect

your equipment to the Ethernet ports on the adapter.

• Port 1 is for high-priority traffic used by devices such as

gaming consoles.

• Port 2 is for devices with lower-priority traffic.

You can use both ports or only one port.

Add the adapter to a Powerline network that has not been

secured:

1. Check to make sure that the Powerline devices you already use

are compatible.

2. Plug the XAV2602 adapter into another electrical outlet. The

XAV2602 will start to communicate with other Powerline devices

(indicated by the linking Powerline LED).

3. Use Ethernet cables (one is included in the package) to connect

your equipment to the Ethernet ports on the adapter.

• Port 1 is for high-priority traffic used by devices such as

gaming consoles.

• Port 2 is for devices with lower-priority traffic.

You can use both ports or only one port.

4. NETGEAR recommends that you secure your Powerline network

to protect your personal information and media from unwanted

access. If you do not set up security on your network, anyone

nearby with a Powerline network can potentially use his or her

connection to gain access to your network and to information you

send over the Internet. This is especially relevant in settings such

as apartment buildings, office buildings, dorm rooms, and other

densely populated areas.
