Add a new Netgear Powerline 200 XAVB1301 to an existing XAVB1301 Network
I have the netgear Powerline 200 XAVB1301. It has been working great for me for about a year now on my Windows 10 computer. The reason I have one is because the internet connection in my room is very poor (I can barely use my phone, very sketchy connection). I recently got a PS4 and because the internet is so poor in my room, I have been using my Powerline I use for my computer, on my PS4 and it has been working great. The only issue is I can only use one system at a time because of the internet issues. So I wanted to know if it was possible to purchase another powerline 200 XAVB1301 (or any other compatabile powerline unit) and sync them up so I would end up having 3 units, one connected to the router, one to my computer, and one to my PS4. Any help and tips are appreciated! Thanks!

That will work. I do something similar.
There are other options. If you want to use other things in the room, a wifi extender might work.
You can even get powerline devices that double as a wifi extender. Maybe not as capable as wired, but able to connect to more devices.
Oh, and you can also buy powerline devices with two LAN outlets.
One of these would also work:
Home/Office Ethernet Switches Series - GS205v2
That would accomodate more wired stuff in future.
