I have been looking at Netgears xavb2001 with great interest . I wonder if 
anyone has any experience of using this equipment. I cannot find anyone selling 
it in Perth and getting hold of it seems difficult as in ES they are going like

I have no experience with them so can't comment on how effective they are.

How well do they go when you plug in something like a Vacuum Cleaner  
and run it?  I had always been told that that was the problem with  
them.  When you plug in something that pulls a lot of current it mucks  
up your network speed.  Has that been your experience?
