Ac1200 Range Extender
I have an AC1200 Range Extender EX6150V2 and I was wondering if I purchased a 1200 Poweline Adapter will this range extender work with it over power or will I have to plug an Ethernet cord from power line to range extender.

The EX6150 looks like a powerline device, but it isn't. It needs to get its Internet access from somewhere else.
You can use the EX6150 as a wifi access point and plug it into a "remote" Powerline adaptor which will then work with the adapter that you plug into the router.
