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 an XWN5001 Powerline access point in

Getting Started
Powerline 500 WiFi Access Point (XWN5001)
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 in Powerline products to 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 adapters from working correctly, or reduce network performance.
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 adapter models can share the network. All NETGEAR Powerline AV
products (models XAV101, XAV1004, XAV2001, XAV2501, and XAVN2001) are compatible.

To set up a new Powerline network:
1. Make sure that your home router is up and running and that Ethernet wired connections
are working.
2. Install the first Powerline adapter based on the
installation instructions that came in the package.
Plug a compatible NETGEAR Powerline adapter
(sold separately) into a wall outlet near your
router, and connect it to the LAN port on your
router using an Ethernet cable.
3. For convenience during setup, plug the Access
Point into a wall outlet near your router.
Getting Started
Powerline 500 WiFi Access Point (XWN5001)
4. Connect a computer to the Access Point for
initial setup.
Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect
the Access Point to an Ethernet port on a
computer.

each other and form a Powerline network.
This could take a few minutes.
5. Plug any additional Powerline devices you
are using into power outlets near the other
computers and devices to be included in
your Powerline network.
6. Wait for each Powerline adapter or access
point to be recognized by the Powerline network.
The Power, Ethernet, and Powerline LEDs should turn on. This 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 weak link rate. In this case, move the
adapter or access point to another electrical outlet with a better connection.
7. Set up the Access Point wireless network as explained in Set Up the Extender Wireless
Network on page 10.
Add the Access Point to an Existing Powerline Network
Your existing Powerline network needs to have two or more compatible Powerline devices
that communicate with each other. (models XAV101, XAV1004, XAV2001, XAV2501, and
XAVN2001). One of these Powerline devices has to be cabled with Ethernet to your router so
that the Powerline network is linked to your local area network (LAN).

To add the Access Point to an existing Powerline network:
1. If you used the Security buttons or the Powerline Utility to secure your Powerline
network, press the Reset button on each Powerline device to return it to its factory
settings.

Powerline Network Security
A Powerline network consists of two or more Powerline adapters using the same network
encryption key. Securing your network is crucial. By encrypting the information 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 their
connection to gain access to your network and information you send over the Internet. This is
especially relevant in settings such as apartment buildings, office buildings, dorm rooms, and
other more populated areas.
Powerline devices connected to the same network have to use an identical encryption key in
order to communicate with each other. The security used by Powerline network is similar to
the SSID and encryption keys used in wireless networks.
There are two ways to secure your Powerline network.
•
Use the Security button located on the adapter to automatically generate a random
encryption key. See Set the Encryption Key.
•
Use the Powerline Utility to configure your Powerline network with an encryption key that
you specify. If you are already using Powerline or HomePlug devices, then you will need
to use the Powerline Utility. If not already installed, the Powerline Utility should be
installed on your computer. See Install the Powerline Utility on page 16.
For information about using the Powerline Utility to configure Powerline security or to
prioritize Powerline network traffic using the Quality of Service (QoS) feature, see
Chapter 2.
To return the XWN5001 to its factory default settings, press its Reset button for 1 second.
Getting Started

temporarily disable Powerline communication. If this should occur, reset
the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings (press the Reset
button for 1 second, then release).
2. Press the Access Point Security button for 2 seconds.
• The Power LED starts blinking after you release the button.
•
The adapter automatically creates a new, randomly generated network encryption key
that each Powerline adapter on the network will use.
At this point, the other adapters in your network cannot communicate with each other.
3. Within 2 minutes of pressing the Security button on the Access Point, press the Security
button on the second adapter for 2 seconds.
In order to pair the devices, you need to press both buttons within 2 minutes.

you expect, it could be that a Powerline adapter is in power saving mode or is set to use a
different encryption key.
•
Power saving mode. You might see a message at the bottom of the screen regarding
the power saving feature. If a unit goes into power saving mode, the Powerline Utility
does not find it. Keeping a connected Ethernet cable plugged into the device keeps it
active so that it does not go in to power saving mode.
•
Encryption keys are different. To fix this, you can do one of the following:
Reset your Powerline adapters to their factory settings and default encryption key.
Then set the encryption for all of your Powerline adapters.
Connect your computer to each Powerline device and set up the network encryption
key for one adapter at a time.
