Will the NetGear Powerline 500Mbps Nano Adapter XAVB5101 work with Windows 8?

Sure. No problem. Just be aware that for this model you need to plug your laptop into it to get a signal. A different model delivers the signal with wifi.

Yes, I used it with windows 8.1 but it should make no difference between 8 and 8.1

Yes, it has independent phantom power for each input. It will work with Windows 8.1, but you will need to download the latest drivers. Thanks Aaron.

I do not know about Windows 8 compatibility but my AC/DC adapter is 100-240VAC 50/60 HZ 0.8amps.

I use it on Win 8.1 with the USB connection, it works fine. I haven't tried it over the network.

In my experience, the driver for this adapter is flaky. This adapter has a broadcom chip and broadcom does not seem to be addressing issues. It took them a long time to get a non beta driver out for Windows 8.1, which still seems to have issues in my experience. I am currently using a Asus adapter that has a ralink chip and it just works. It is n only though.

I do not believe so, as long as you download the driver it should work with any router. I just upgraded my old Belkin N router to this Linksys AC 1750 Dual Band,Model EA6500,and all the devices in the house made a difference in the connections. My son uses this adapter on his desktop,which he is a hardcore gamer,put him up to 195MB instead of 65MB when I added this adapter,with the dual band router. I even tried the adapter on my laptop for a kick,and it went from 65 to 150,big difference. So the adapter made a difference in connecting.

At this time it works only with Windows 7, 8, XP, & Vista per the product data sheet at: http://support.netgear.com/product/A6200#wrapper

Unit doesn't have anything to do with what operating system you use--it simply "amplifies" your wi-fi signal. So, yes, it will work in windows 8.

Yes. Mine works fine, but I had to press the WPS button on my router a few time. Once it connected I can move it to any room I want.

Yes, it does. I bought this modem for my sister who uses it with her Windows 8 laptop. I hope this helps!

I have not tried this myself, but you may also want to look at powerline network adapters.

Netgear Tech Support told me that you can use more than two XAVB5101 Powerline Nano 500 Sets. To confirm this, I would highly recommend that you call 1-888-NETGEAR (638-4327)for full details as I only have two hooked up. I recommend that you use encryption when you hook up the system for your protection.They do work great.

You have to download a "beta" driver from Netgear, but the Beta driver works great for my Windows 8.1 systems.. The drivers on my CD were for only Windows 7. The download process was easy.

A Laptone Wireless USB Adapter Network WiFi N 150 Mbps Dongle for Windows 8 / Win 7 / Xp / Vista would work just fine

It wouldn't matter because it's the worst USB net card I've ever used. I ended up with a LinkSys AE1000 - Save your money (and sanity) and buy whatever the replacement is for the AE1000.

Hello. Yes this adapter will work perfectly for the application you are talking about. It does not matter what brand of adapter you use with your router as long as you follow the setup instructions during install. MS Vista is fine as well. Have a great day.

Yes, at least my implementation runs fine in windows 8 x64 (and 7 x64) LAN connection games seem more reliable in windows 8.
