Netgear Power ine Range Extender Installation Guide
The XWNB5602 is Alarm.com’s latest solution for
installing cameras in a home with WiFi dead spots.
Designed in conjunction with Netgear, this system
extends the home’s WiFi network using existing power
lines, so there is no need to run wires or do any extra
configuration. Simply plug the PassThru adapter into an
open outlet near the home’s router, and plug the WiFi
Access Point into an outlet near the camera. Wireless
camera set-up is a breeze using the WPS button on the
WiFi Access Point.

button on the other Powerline device for
two seconds. You must press both
security buttons within two minutes.
◦ The Power and Wireless/Ethernet

the Powerline EDs are lit solid green,
the two devices can communicate over
the Powerline network in a secure way.
◦ An amber or red Powerline ED
indicates a poor connection between
Powerline devices. Try moving the
Powerline devices to different AC
outlets.
