For 3-story house under 1 electric meter, the adapters don't seem to be able to connect on the 1st floor with the modem/router on the 3rd floor. Help.

Are you using any power extensions or are the adapters bring placed directly in the wall outlets? Outside of that, the only things I can think of are that either the cable from the modem/router to the adapter is faulty or you may have a limit on the number of users allowed in that device.

Not an electrician, but it might be the wiring of your home. I've used both these and Belkin brand adapters in both a 2-story and 3-story home, which share the same electrical connection and circuit breaker.

Sorta. One adapter connects your modem/router to the A/C outlet. Then you plug in the second, third, fourth adapter where ever you need to in another A/C outlet. With two ethernet ports in each outlet, you can connect whatever devices you need. There is no need to "amplify" the signal, since the signal is traveling acrtoss your homes wiring, basically, a direct, ethernet connection.

Required a 2nd Ethernet port on your Router to connect the power line adapter. Unless you have your router connect to the Powerline and get your desktop to be wireless or with another set of power line adapter.

you should contact Zyxel directly, their tech support or sales support is great, but the device does not work very well in certain environments. I had trouble connecting it and staying connected.Too many variables depend on your electrical wiring in the house.

Go to Netgear's website and download the Powerline Utility software. It can help you diagnose connection issues, and as other have suggested set them up first in one room and get them working before moving to different circuits.

My WiFi range works on the third floor with the modem in the basement. That is a distance of at least 75 feet.

How does everyone solve this I wonder! It's a real pain because wireless access points don't generally have a useable Ethernet connection. I ended up buying a devolo plug starter kit that sends the Internet around the house electric circuit. It was pricey (nearly £100 - am in uk) but it literally plugged in and worked.

Yes, you can use the Powerline adapters to connect the router and the modem which are both on separate locations.

I had the same results when I used an insufficient amount of amperage with a 12v 1000 mah power adapter, I then replaced the power adapter with an old Netgear router 12v 2 amp power supply I had and it worked like a charm after that. Hope this helps.

When I bought mine there was a graphic on either the Amazon or Netgear website that showed the requirements; I believe that the adapters have to be on the same circuit and within a certain distance from each other, but I can't find that information anywhere, including in the manual. You can check with their staff, whom I found very helpful in the past, at http://kb.netgear.com/app/general/contact

The adapter sets itself to what your modem, or router puts out. It will not get anymore than what your equipment is capable of putting out.

I wasn't able to use it because my swm box and internet router are on two different floors so I didn't hook it up. The one that will work is the Directv Connected Home Adapter DCASR0-01 which I got for free from Directv.

Well since you're a Netgear employee, why does my adaptor work flawlessly with my computer and won't even let my ps3 or xbox connect to the internet? A little off-subject but your time is appreciated.

If you are highly tech-savvy you might be able to. You can contact the vendor for help. I ran Ethernet cables for both of mine because we had trouble getting a wireless connection to work reliably.

There is really not a lot to setting these up. Connect one via ethernet to your router and to the coax wall jack. Connect the other to your device via ethernet and coax to the wall. If things are not working, I would suspect a flaky splitter on the coax causing some sort of bandwidth limitation or signal blockage.

I tried to add a third XAVB2101 to my existing pair following Netgears instructions and neither one of the new adapters would work, so I would say NO: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22165/~/how-to-add-a-new-powerline-device-to-an-existing-powerline-network

Plug your internet supply into the first port. It might not matter which port, but since that is typical that is what I did. I have two of these working well at my house.
