I already installed the network kit, will it work if I installed a second or even a third kit on the same network? What I mean is have one hard wired to the Router and 4 or 5 connected through the outlets? RGDS

Yes. Using the utility that came with the kit, you should be able to see all the switches.

Yes. I have 3 5004's running off one 5101. I believe you have to resync them all when you add one. If you don't have the Netgear Powerline Utility (Windows app - free) it is a nice little utility that lets you check the status and add a security key.

I'd use cat5 hardwire to your router firmware usually fails with wi-fi and it is basically useless if you don't update the firmware when asked. But mine is a couple of years old it may have changed since then.

According to the Netgear Instalation Guide PDF ( http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/products/XETB1001/Documentation/IG/XETB1001_IG_6Aug10.pdf ) you can attach multiple Powerline 85 XETB1001 adapters to the same network. I have read other comments about possible issues based on the house/building wiring where network speeds can reduce or no connection will be possible if the adapters are on different main circuits. According to those commenters it is dependent on how discreet the lines are from each other.

can i plug one of these into my modem then plug two routers into the splitter? if not you plug one slitter into the other?

yes, put the router cable in and you can run 4 other devices. the more you use at one time, might, slow down streaming. i use one to go to my computer, and my wireless router that runs the others.

M situation was different in that I installed it on a router with only one external antenna. I think it probably depends upon how your range extender is configured. If it simply has two antennas broadcasting identical signals, there probably wouldn't be a problem. If each antenna is dedicated to different frequencies, that may pose some issues. I guess what I would do is replace one antenna and then switch the configuration to the other and see if it works well for you in either. The other approach would simply be to replace both antennas with two Amped powered antennas, which may provide significant advantages. If it/they don't work out, you can simply return them for a refund. I hope that helps. Good luck.

I have Linksys G router and I needed two, but they really didnt seem to help much, another better router would help more, or put an update of tomato or some other firmware that allows you to boost power.

No. In fact, they do not recommend that. I had to have two on my network to support six cameras, but that's because the three cameras on my dock/boathouse were so far away from the main house that the Power Line signals from the cameras would not reach the adapter connected to my house router. I added a second HomePlug adapter in the boathouse, connected to a router in the boathouse (connected by Cat 5 to the house) and they work fine. As long as all of your cameras are close enough to your HomePlug adapter to get good signal strength, you only need one adapter connected to your Cat 5 Router.

This set will allow you to connect (1) unit (single port) to router. The other (4 port) anywhere in the house you need internet. To add more rooms, you can buy extra single port units or buy another set like this and plug them around the house. Any single or multiple port units work as long as you have one unit to the router.

Let's assume you have two devices in one room and two devices in another room with one Ethernet cable running from room to room with a wall connection in each room. You plug one splitter into each room and now you can run two devices on the same cable run. If you don't have enough available Ethernet ports at the router, you will need to add a multi-port desktop switch. You can find several types in the same area of Amazon that you got the C2G cables.

I don,t know how ever I have used two different routers with mine a belkin an a netgear. I do.t tho.k you will have any problems. Just go to cannon and download drivers from Canon.
972101
Yes, you can multiple Netgear XAVB5101 adapters on a network. It installed to run using CD; I have 2 hooked up, and they do work great.

No this won't work. You would need 2 of these to go to a router/switch if you wanted to share a single Ethernet line.

I did not try this connection and cannot answer this question. However, I am wondering why you would want to plug one router to another. It may make more sense to set up the second router as an extender to have a longer range. I plugged my router directly into the cable modem. The range for this router is much better than the previous one. The two bigger antennas really help.

I can't give you a definite answer as I have never tried to use the one I have with seven devices but I can tell you what I do know about it. First it depends on whether you mean hard-wired or wirelessly. It only has four wired ports so from that point of view it can only handle four devices. But as a wireless router, although I don't really know what the limit is I don't see why it couldn't handle many devices at once. For example it could assign more than 250 IP addresses on a sub net. E.g. 192.168.2.xxx where xxx could be from 2 to 254 (reserving 1 for the router itself. These could be either manually entered or DHCP could be used. Although with that many devices things might be rather slow. As I say, I've never had that many on at one time, but I have had four with no problems. I hope this answer is some help.

I believe that should work. The 1 to router would make the rest of your outlets "live". The other 5 should just be acess points.
