adding extra powerline adapter and WiFi adapter to AV200 nano XAV 2101
Have existing AV 200 XAV 2101 from Virgin router to PC works well, now need broadband to TV and WiFi downtairs, what sender unit do i need on router to feed the 2 XAV 2101 units used as feeds for PC ...
Have already tried different make (it was on offer at local outlet), plugging in the 'sender', to the router instantly killed the existing Netgear 200. Have restarted the Netgear unit, it ok again. Will try Netgear WiFi pair with existing Netgear 200 unit.

Adding Netgear plugs in the same way would create the same result.
That is not the way to do it. Do not connect the extra "sender" to the router. It already has its own sender plug to feed the Powerline network
Use the plug as a "receiver" but work out what you have to do to get it to talk to the existing Netgear receiver. The instructions I linked to probably work for different makes, but they may have their own version of that information.
