Ethernet Port
The WiFi extender uses an Ethernet port to convert a standard electrical wall outlet into a
high-speed wired network connection. You can use the wired network connection to bring
Internet connectivity to any device with an Ethernet port, such as a computer, game console,
Blu-ray™ player, smart TV, HD set-top box, or network DVR.
Product Label
The product label is on the back of the device. The label shows unique details specific to your
device, including the following information.
• Model number
• Powerline MAC address
• Ethernet/wireless MAC address
• Serial number
• Device password
• WPS security PIN
• Default wireless network name (SSID)
• Default network key (wireless network password)
How the WiFi Extender Fits into Your Network
You can use one or more WiFi extenders to extend wireless and wired Internet access
throughout your home.
A Powerline network consists of two or more compatible Powerline devices that communicate
with each other using your electrical power lines. 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). Connecting one Powerline device to your router allows all the Powerline
devices on the Powerline network to communicate with the router and use its Internet
connection.
If your home network includes a wireless router or gateway, you can use the WiFi extender to
extend the coverage of your existing wireless network or to create a second wireless
network. If you have a wired router or gateway, the WiFi extender can use your wired Internet
connection to create a wireless network in your home.

Powerline Network Security
A Powerline network consists of two or more Powerline devices using the same network
encryption key. Securing your network is crucial. By encrypting the information that you send
over the Powerline network, you help to keep it secure from hackers. 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 information that you send over the
Internet. This concern is especially relevant in settings such as apartment buildings, office
buildings, dorm rooms, and other more populated areas.
You can use either the Security button on the Powerline device or NETGEAR genie to secure
your Powerline
network.

Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key
Note: A Powerline device can generate a random private encryption key
only once. If you want to generate a new random key, first reset the
Powerline devices to their factory default settings. Either press the
Factory Reset button for 2 seconds, then release it, or use the
NETGEAR genie factory reset feature. (See
Factory Default Settings on page 28.)
You can use the Security button to replace the default encryption key with a random private
ncryption key. The default encryption key is HomePlugAV.

Basic Functioning
After you plug in the Powerline device, the following sequence of events should occur:
1. The Power LED lights.
2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify the following:
• The Power LED is solid green. The device is powered on.
• If the device is connected to a Powerline network, the Powerline LED is lit.
• If the Powerline device is connected through the Ethernet port to a powered-on
Ethernet device, the Ethernet LED is lit.
Troubleshooting Tips
The Factory Reset and Security buttons are on the side panel of the Powerline device.
• Pressing the Factory Reset button longer than 2 seconds does not reset the device.
• Pressing the Security button longer than 2 seconds does not activate security.
LEDs
The LEDs indicate activity and can be used for troubleshooting.
LEDs Are Off When the Powerline Device Is Plugged In
• Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical outlet.
• If power is supplied and the LEDs stay off, someone might have used NETGEAR
genie to turn off the LEDs. Use NETGEAR genie to check whether the LEDs are
turned off. If they are, then use the genie to turn them back on. See
On on page 26.
Power LED
• Off. There is no electrical power.
- Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical outlet and the Powerline device is
not plugged into an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector.
- Press the Factory Reset button on the Powerline device for 2 seconds to return the
device to its factory default settings.
• Amber. Power saving mode occurs when the Ethernet link is inactive. The Ethernet link is
inactive when:
- The Ethernet cable is unplugged.
Turn LEDs Off or
- The peripheral device that is connected through the Ethernet port is turned off.
- The Powerline device is idle for 10 minutes.
Troubleshooting
36
Page 37
Universal WiFi Extender - Powerline Edition (XAVN2001)
The Powerline device returns to normal mode within 2 seconds once the Ethernet link is
active. Power saving mode is disabled by default. To enable power saving mode, use
NETGEAR web genie. (See
Access NETGEAR Web genie on page 31.)
Powerline LED
• Off. The Powerline devices cannot find each other. Make sure that the Powerline devices
are plugged into wall outlets with power and that they use the same network encryption
key.
- Move the Powerline device to an outlet that is closer to the computer or devices.
- If you set a private encryption key, make sure that all Powerline devices are using the
same encryption key.
- If the problem occurred after you set the encryption key, reset each device to its
factory default settings. Then try setting the encryption key again.
• Amber or red. Move the Powerline device to another electrical outlet with a faster
connection.
Ethernet LED Is Off
There is no Ethernet connection.
• If your Powerline device is connected to the LAN port of your router, make sure that:
- Your router and modem are turned on.
- The computer connected directly to the router can access the Internet.
• If your Powerline device is connected to a computer, game console, Blu-ray player, or
other peripheral device, make sure that:
- The peripheral device is turned on.
- The Powerline device is securely connected to the peripheral device using an
Ethernet cable.
• Press the Factory Reset button on each Powerline device for 2 seconds to return the
device to its factory default settings.
Wireless LED Is Off
If the Wireless LED stays off, use NETGEAR web genie to turn on the wireless radio. The
Wireless LED is lit when the wireless radio is turned on.
To turn on the wireless radio:
1. Log in to the web genie for your WiFi extender. See Access NETGEAR Web genie on
page 31.
2. From the menu on the left, select Advanced > Wireless Settings.
3. On the screen that displays, select the Enable Wireless Device Radio check box.

If You Do Not See All Your Devices with the NETGEAR genie
If you click the Refresh icon on the NETGEAR genie Powerline Utility screen and you do not
see all the devices that you expect, some Powerline devices might be using different
encryption keys. If the encryption keys are different, do one of the following:
• Reset your Powerline devices to their factory default settings. Then set the encryption key
for all of your Powerline devices.
• Connect your computer to one Powerline device at a time and use NETGEAR genie to
set the encryption key for each device.
If You Do Not See the Powerline Icon on Your Network Map
If you navigate to the Network Map on NETGEAR genie and you do not see the Powerline
icon:
• Make sure that you have the latest version of NETGEAR genie installed. Some older
versions of NETGEAR genie might not support Powerline products.
• Your computer’s antivirus software might be blocking the Powerline communication
protocol. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and relaunch NETGEAR genie.
Symantec Endpoint Protection
The antivirus software Symantec Endpoint Protection v11.0.5002.333 filters the NETGEAR
Powerline network traffic and prevents Powerline devices from appearing on the Network
Map. To allow Powerline network traffic to pass through the Symantec Endpoint Protection
filter, you must add a firewall rule to the filter.
Note: Symantec Endpoint Protection v12.0.1001.95 does not have this
issue.
To add a firewall rule for your Powerline devices:
1. Open the Symantec Control Center and click the Options button under Network Threat
Protection.
