I have an existing Powerline1000 kit with the PL1000 Access Point and a PLW 1000 Adapter. I would like to add one additional adapter but cannot find a separate or single PLW 1000 in any store or online. What is the correct model name and number to add to an adapter to an existing system?

To get what you want, you will have to buy a twin pack and keep one as a spare, or find somewhere else that ot can be useful.
One thing to consider is that the AV standard is industry wide so you can mix different brands, and even different speeds. So if you can find a manufacturer that sells singleton powerline access points – most are just like Netgear and sell only pairs – you could add that.
