Do I need the "Monster PowerNet 200 Powerline Network Module" in order to use the "PowerNet 200 Powerline Network Adaptor Starter Kit?

Unless you need more than 2 of the module's that plug into the wall then no. The kit comes with 2 modules that you plug into the wall. The first one by your router, then plug the included Ethernet cable in the unit and an open port on the back of the router. The other one goes where you need it, by your blue ray, your computer what ever. Plug the unit into the wall, the lights will tell you whether they can talk to each other, then plug your Ethernet cable into what you want to reach the internet. Very simple system, yet it works, Good luck

No, you don't need the Network Module that you mentioned. I bought the Network Adaptor Starter Kit first, then added two more so that I have one in each bedroom and one in the living room. They work great!

Yes you can add another 'node' to an already existing powerline network. Instructions are given on the Netgear website. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22165

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.

Yes. I have a shopbot and I use this exact router. This is all you need, plus the parts that came with your shopbot. (the split-plastic ring and the metal holder)

Yes, it should work. One of the power line is connecting to this router through one of the gigabit Ethernet ports, and the other power adapter can be connected to the device you want to have networking access. There are some limitation/requirement of the electric wiring in a building for using the power adapter(most of the houses meet those requirement).

No, the Powerline adapter must be installed directly into the AC wall outlet. Any kind of plug strip or UPS could limit functionality of the system. Details from the manufacturer: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20233

You will need it if your new ant is a bnc connecter. Even if you do not 100% need it buy it. Mine is very unexpectedly usefull

Chris Geiser, Product Line Manager for NETGEAR Powerline here. I would recommend the XAVB2501 NETGEAR Powerline AV+ 200 Adapter Kit XAVB2501 It has the pass-through socket and you can plug the power strip into it. It also uses the latest generation chipsets, so it's VERY fast. On your other question, you can plug Powerline devices into Power Strips, but if it has noise filtering or surge supression technology (like most high-end power strips), it will interfere with the network traffic. Things like extension cords will typically work, but will introduce noise loss, which will lower overall network performance. That's why NETGEAR has created the device with the pass-through.

No, it does not. If your network has "power over Ethernet", you don't need a separate AC adaptor, but most networks do not have that, so you will need the AC adaptor. You want the Cisco Linksys (PA100-NA) Power Adapter for IP Phones. I just bought two on Amazon for $8.77 with Amazon Prime.

You have to know the VOLTAGE and how many AMPS your router requires. I would recommend going on the net and check with the manufacturer or if you have and old power supply it will have that info on the back. The size of the plug matters too, as it must fit into your unit.

The POE (power over ethernet) comes from a POE compliant power source (e.g. injector or switch) to provide power to your cameras. The powerline adapter uses the electrical wiring in your home to provide the ethernet communications. The power for the POE camera would not be provided by the Powerline adapter, however, the Powerline adapter should be capable of providing the "ethernet" communications for the Injector or switch. FYI, use caution when connecting POE power source connections and LAN connections, basically the LAN connections is connected to the ethernet source and the POE connection is connected to the POE device. My Foscam POE cameras work nicely integrated into my home automation system.

Yes, you are going to have to use either POE adapter or purchase a separate power cord

yes, you will need a bypass module. I use the idata-link brand ones, but you may want to see what the installer wants to use or recommends.

I believe not. You still need a router if you want to connect multiple devices in your home network. Your power line does not have routing capabilities. Good luck.

yes. you can buy kits that do not have the wifi included, but this particular one does both wifi and powerline.

The kit comes with two units in it: TP-LINK TL-WPA281 KIT 300Mbps Wireless N Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, 2.4Ghz N300 Adapter + 200Mbps Adapter, 802.11b/g/n by TP-LINK. So you get the base unit and one extension, a really good deal as the extension unit is only an additional $18.

Nope. You need to plug this into your switch or router. It will convert your powerline into ethernet and will give you extra wifi network if needed. It will not let you steal neighbour wifi and convert to ethernet hehe.
