2. Powerline Utility
This chapter explains how to install and use the Powerline Utility. The Powerline Utility works
with Powerline AV products model XAV101v2 and XAV1501. These Powerline models 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:
• Set up encryption for your Powerline network
• Perform diagnostics and monitor performance
• Set up Quality of Service (QoS)
• Restore a device to default configuration settings
